I just went off my old med last month and switched to a diff one. It makes me feel less anxious, but I get night sweats from hell and I can't seem to stop snacking on junkfood. I'm scared to step on a scale bc I know I've gained weight. Fuuuuck psych meds. I wish I could just get prescribed klonopin again, but America is retarded and I'm a poorfag.

Kind of a repost from the dead thread, but I'm really scared for my relationship and I'm freaking out about it. I can't rant to my close friends because they're all fucking hurting right now. My boyfriend and I are in a pretty shitty place and I've thought about ending things so many times. I thought it would be better for both of us if I did because we're just kind of stuck where we are now and things just… aren't good.

But now three of my previously taken friends have broken up with their boyfriends (it's all been in the same week, it's crazy and idk why this is happening to so many people I know), and I'm so scared of following suit after seeing what that does to a person. I've never been with anyone else and I didn't realize how much I appreciated my boyfriend until everyone around me started leaving theirs. They didn't want to leave, it was basically in each case because they found out that the boyfriend they'd been with for years had betrayed them and cheated on them recently. And I would have never suspected anything looking at those couples. The guys hid it so well and they seemed like they loved their girlfriends so much.

Which is where my fears kick in. What if most guys - fuck, most people - cheat and my boyfriend's one of them, but I'm just blind to it like my friends were? Most of those guys were happy but just wanted to fuck other girls. My boyfriend's got such a shady past with girls as is, and I've caught him in lies before. It's not like he's happy with me right now, either. Am I being stupid? Am I next? This feels like some horrible horror movie.

I know I should just trust my boyfriend and not compare my relationship to my friends', but I can't help it. I'm scared of losing him now, but I'm also scared I'm in a situation just like my friends and being with someone who cheats is worse than being without him to me.

I'm a freelance translator and I did a long last minute job with a 3 hour deadline in the middle of the night because the dude would not. Leave. Me. Alone.

Just one more thing. Just this many words. It's the last time I swear.

And I kept being like "ok" because I'm scared he will leave me bad reviews.

Worst part is that I just started out and i'm like %89 sure I'm completely undercharging. 5000 words with a 3 hour deadline n the middle of the night for $60 of which I get only $48 because of the website taking a %30 cut is ridiculous, right? I should be charging more right?

He keeps going like "please you're really the best one" yeah of course I'm the best one I'm doing hard work for dirt cheap because everyone else has some actual dignity. ugh

I feel like such a spineless dumbass and an anxious turd. I just can't say no. I need the money, but I also need my fucking sanity

Can anyone tell me if I'm actually charging enough? Or am I just a baby and need to suck it up

No. 210642

I'm out of med school next year and fuck I don't feel ready to take in all the responsibility. I can't even talk with most of the hospitals' staff without sperging out because they're always stressed and don't want to deal with noobs. I'll have to work in the ER until I get into residency and am always afraid I'll fuck everything up because there is where all the bad shit happens, specially in the shithole I live that has no infrastructure. I need to find some young doctor friend and go with him to the ER asap until the routine becomes natural to me but I don't know anyone.

you should be charging about 5 times that tbh anon. plus at least 50% rush fee and unsocial hours fee. Maybe worth looking at signing up with some agencies? Idk what kind of translation you do but I've worked for agencies and if you're good and reliable you should be able to get better paid work from them than from these freelance websites - they're horrible places to get work. Next time stand your ground and demand what you're worth, remember, it's cheap, good and quick and the client can only have two out of the three.

its really tiring hating yourself all of the time. im past the point of depression and confusion. im just angry. shoving pills in my face and going to therapy for 18 years hasnt gotten me very far. having no insurance and only working with state doctors who can only prescribe medication within certain boundries doesnt help. there are only so many times i can try depekote lithiium prozac seroquel vraylar fuck.

my depression is really bad. i find myself showering maybe twice a week because i just cant bring myself to do it. i lie in bed or sit on my couch and rarely leave if its not just to my parents or my shitty part time retail job. i would sleep all day if it didnt make me feel so useless. i manage my depression well and i am no longer as manic as i was when i was a teenager. it went from agressive to complete apathy. i dont know which is worse though

No. 210659

I've been lonely and spent all of my time alone all my life, but I think that it's bothering me more than usual, lately.

I always believed that being socially retarded was something I could eventually, if not fix, then maybe work around by rationally observing others and figuring out how they do it. But the thing I'm really shit at, one on one conversation, how to develop a friendship past the "acquaintance" status, I can't observe. I searched for alternatives, but there are no guides on that. It makes sense I guess, the people who can do it don't think someone might need a tutorial, and the people who need it never find out how so they can't help me either.

I think it's bothering me now because I'm no longer optimistic. I'm beginning to accept the fact that I'll never learn. I'll always be part of the group (I'm outgoing and not shy most of the time, I learned how to behave in group situations) but only superficially.

It happens every time. A group is formed by circumstances, we start getting together, everyone starts becoming closer friends and it starts getting tight-knit, and I'm just… left behind. They start sleeping over at each other's places, getting together not as a group but as friends, inviting the others they're closer to… it just leads to them getting even closer and forgetting more and more about me, until I'm no longer even part of the group, and we stop hanging out and talking because they develop their own internal working I can't partake in and it just gets awkward as fuck.

I'm tired of putting in the work only for this to happen, but I'll be completely isolated if I avoid the groups I'm still somewhat part of, and I start losing my sense of reality if I go a few months without talking to anyone outside college or work-related stuff.

does anyone else get crazy if you can't stalk you SO 24/7? i know that's such a dumb cliche, but goddamn is it satisfying to check up on them. and i don't mean it in the way of calling them or texting them all the time, i do think thats annoying. but i mean more like checking their social media accounts constantly.

back in the day i would check my gfs social media everyday. apperantly she didn't like it and (altough she didn't complain or anything) she deleted most of it once she realized. but i still found her new accounts later. theyre all private though. it drives me CRAZY. cause she has some legit jelousy issues. Where she gets mad whenever I mention other people. But at the same time she doesn't want me to see whatever dumb pic of her food she's posting.

i'm not active on social media (i have no friends IRL or online). but she's popular on both spectrums. so i think she didn't like that i checked her stuff since she couldn't check my social media accounts back (since i dont have any). but still. i miss stalking her profile every other day. i just like knowing how she's doing and how she's feeling. sure, we text everyday, but again i don't like being that annoying gf who is always nagging her via texts and phonecalls. so yeah. i miss seeing her post about the mundane things that she wouldn't mention on our convos. like what song she likes at the moment, what her dinner was, seeing her make a good morning post. it just makes me feel comfy. like we are always together. do i sound like a derranged creepy stalker? I sure do. but hey, i already explained that i'm a loser 24/7

man, I wish I hadn’t found her totally secret “private” accounts. what the fuck do i even want from her.

You me anon? All my energy goes into acting like a normal, healthy person at work and when I come home I'm just drained and try to retain myself from crying for hours. I haven't been able to get help because it's embarrassing and I'm afraid of the stigma of being a mentally unstable person. I'm having trouble falling asleep (I wake up every time I start dozing off even if I'm tired as hell) and the quality of my sleep is ass. I randomly burst into tears when I'm alone and even picking up stuff I drop on the floor is too much work so my apartment is getting more and more pigsty. I used to be a lot more angry and aggressive but It's just crying and apathy now. And digging myself deeper into the escapism hole. I'm nearing my 30's and I thought I'd have it all made at this point but I'm still lonely and depressed as hell. Been coping with fluctuating depression (manageable to severe) since I was 12 and it feels like it'll be like this forever.

You're worth far more than you're currently charging. Like, waaaay more.
Seconding what >>210645 said completely, btw. Also, set boundaries when initially hammering out a… ?contract with someone, too – 'oh you want [x amount of] words? sure, that'll be [price]', then when they go back to you with 'oh just one more thing, just this, just that, please please please' etc, respond with 'well we initially agreed on [x amount of] words at [price], if you want [additional service] that's going to be [additional money, cough it tf up bitch]'. Don't let some shitstain manipulate you into doing free work; it's totally ok to "fire" a bad client and tell them to go get fucked (maybe don't actually, but you have the right to discontinue an engagement with someone when they're being disrespectful). You have my permission (if you need it) to say no when you need to, to preserve your sanity. Work smarter, not harder, fam. Charging what you're actually worth will also give you some room to not pick up the shitty clients/jobs, because you're not constantly scrabbling for the cash. You're worth it <3

something i've learnt in those kinds of situations is that when the group disbands for the day and everyone goes home, most of the others (the people who form bonds fairly quickly) are still socialising, over snap or fb or whatever, whereas once i get home i shut down because i'm all peopled out for the day, then don't really communicate with them much until i see the whole group next. i assume that's probably the reason you're getting a bit left behind too? what i'd suggest is maybe picking a person or two of the group that you'd think you'd get along with easily and make a marked effort to like, hit them up outside of the group being a group, then maybe get a group chat going or something. once you've got that stronger bond with at least one member of the gang it makes preventing being left behind a little easier


but anyway
i got out of the psych ward earlier this week after being in for a fortnight and whilst it wasn't a garbage experience this time around, and i'm on the right meds now (with the correct diagnosis!) i'm kind of.. angry? upset? that i've spent the past three years being fed antidepressants that were basically ruining my life. i feel like (even though rationally i know otherwise) that there was something that i could have/should have been doing to not fuck it up even though the whole 'being prescribed the wrong drugs' thing was completely out of my hands, and had a HUGE impact on me (SSRI/SNRIs and bipolar don't mix, whoda thought). i'm just fat sad and lonely now and really aware of it because the apathetic fog is lifting, and i'm disgusted w/ myself. i was like ~90 kgs (i've always been a fat piece of shit lmao) when i was 17ish and at my worst i got up to ~130 bc i'd just binge eat fucking everything. i'm down to ~115-120 now because i've made an effort to cut the binging in the past ~6 months but looking at myself in the mirror is such a heartbreaking experience, because i'm so ashamed of how far i let this all go. i'm revolting, honestly. idk if it's just acute grief or something but jesus christ it's really raw and hurts like hell deep in my chest and i'm not even sure if i should even bother trying to fix it because at this point i've got the figure of a mother of three in her 40s and even w/ weight loss i'll be left riddled with stretchmarks and gross skin. like what's the point? i'm 21 and i'm already ruined. no one could ever love me, i'm sure. FUCK

Guys I've got my very first therapy appointment today. It's just a general session, I'll probably get referred somewhere else. But I'm so nervous. The wait list was over a month and I don't wanna get put onto yet another wait list. I've struggled with depression and suicidal tendencies and anxiety and self harm and all that kinda stuff since I hit puberty (I'm 20 now btw). I just want a fucking diagnosis and learn whether it's ~just~ depression or if I have more serious disorders too. I wanna get therapy and get meds if possible. I just wanna be BETTER. I'm so fucking nervous. I have no clue what to expect or whether therapy will work for me.

You have to do what's best for you, anon. My boyfriend travels for work and says that the majority of guys he works with cheat on their girlfriends when they're off at work.

Worry about your own mental health and general wellbeing, though. Your friends will get over it and so will you.

I accidentally dropped my phone in the parking lot yesterday. Shattered the screen, so it doesn't work at all now. Upgrading to a new S8 is cheaper than getting a replacement through insurance or repairing the screen, but like, I want MY phone. I've never been this upset over a broken phone and having to get a new one. It just feels like my life is recorded on that thing. Baby pictures of my kid, all of my passwords to important accounts saved so that I don't even remember them anymore, nostalgic conversations. Is this what getting older and becoming more resistant to change feels like?

If you don't yet, eating healthier and having an exercise routine really does make you feel better in the long run. Especially for yourself. You don't need to be actively trying to attract a partner to feel good about how you look. I'm sorry you've had such a shitty time, but at least you can now experience things in a more normal way and subsequently learn how to deal with life better. Idk, it might not be such helpful advice, but maybe get a gym membership or something. The gym is a good place to go for exercise and gives you something to focus on/look forward to. My gym actually have women's only areas, I'm not sure if that's a common thing or not.

Little update here (cause I don't want to tell anybody IRL) and the session went well, it was just orientation so I didn't really get to ask questions or even really talk about what I think is the issue with me. I've got more appointments booked now and I'm very happy about that. But I'm so nervous about the confrontation with my issues.. like he asked me to keep a schedule of what I do in a day. I do NOT want to do that or share that with anybody.

And, as he was asking questions I wasn't always completely honest and making stuff a bit prettier than the truth which I always do because I don't wanna admit to my problems. (Like I told him I only dropped out of college temporarily when in reality I have no intention of going back…) As he was asking stuff I found myself thinking he must be confused about why I think I'm depressed or whatever since I was smiling and stuff. And then the dude fucking told me that he can "clearly" see I'm a somber person even though I try to hide it with smiles and cheery answers. Anons, I wanted to cry right there, it felt so good to hear from someone that all of this stuff isn't just in my head! I'm crying again thinking about it. I'm so happy he said that. I was so worried of being told "you don't need therapy, you just need a job" like my mom tells me.

And there's another big kicker. He thinks I might be autistic. It never crossed my mind whether this could be a possibility. Does anyone know anyone that gets diagnosed with autism at age 20 or older? What the hell, I didn't see that coming.

I like to browse /cgl/ and think it can be a good board, i like browsing the threads in the morning sometimes,just check it out in tranquility, but there's no way to do that since a week. They're everywhere. They kill threads by starting new ones (PLS BE MY GF??? WHAT ARE YOUR MEASUREMENTS GULLS? (thinly veiled) FEET/BOOB/… THREAD!,…) that are totally OT.
And they fuck good threads by starting idiotic arguments (lesbians won't ever know that dick is superior,fucking a 14yo is ok if she's consentant,fucking feminists,…)
It's ticking me off so much, just get out already, I wanna go back to browsing in peace.

I feel like I'm always getting over some guy because I rarely find someone that I like enough and when I finally do, they don't want to date. They just want to hook up. This most recent guy really hurts because he was the kind of person that I really would have wanted. I tried just being friends with him (with no hook ups or anything) but I couldn't take it, so I told him it wasn't working for me. I never had to end a friendship over having a crush on someone, usually I could just at least put up with it. This guy was different.
I wish I could just be over it now instead of having to wait for time to pass to get over it. Is there any way to make the process go faster? Besides being with other guys, because I'm serious when I say I don't ever find anyone I like enough.

I get it feels terrible to see yourself and hate what you see, but do keep in mind that fitness levels are one of the most easily changed things about how we look. It takes time, but anyone who has a baseline level of health can do it (and even those without it can still do it to some degree). There's no reason you can't look great in the future anon, it just takes work.


Also pretty much everybody has stretch marks and some patches of shitty skin, don't stress over those. People get them from puberty, loads of fitness models (male in particular) get them from lifting, pretty much everyone will have a significant weight increase at some point.

Don't stress over those, because it's one of those things that nobody even notices, let alone cares about in real life.

Im so so tired of being walked all over by the “manager” at my current job. I don’t know what I did for her to despise me so much and try to make my job 1000 times harder. She gives me useless tasks to do that have zero to do with my actual job whenever she sees I’m taking a break and will always nit pick my work ( I.e: telling me I’m not standing right or not smiling enough ). She only really ever talks to me ( or any other female for that matter ) when she wants to show vacation pictures, things she bought, etc. While she does mistreat all other women at work ( maybe she’s threatened ) she specially has it out for me. Maybe she thinks that because I’m younger than her I won’t speak up or tell anyone but I’m getting to the point where enough is enough. In several occasions she’s accused me of neglecting my duties and when she tries to prove it she just ends up embarrassing herself and yelling at me for no reason. Sometimes I do things wrong I will admit that but it’s everyday with her to the point where I don’t have the energy to come into a job I used to kind of enjoy because I know that she’ll be there. Thankfully this is only till I finish med school which isn’t too close but I won’t be stuck here forever.

I'm so tired of being "alone", I do have friends I guess but a lot of them are broken and drug addicts. These are the people I've been drawn to in the past, I've realized I've done so because I want to "fix" them.

How do I find "normal" people to befriend? I have an easy time making friends online but I'm longing for the closeness (I guess) you get with friends irl, but don't know how to go about it.
I do have aspergers, however I'm not too bad with reading social queues and situations, it's managable. But due to that I kinda have no idea how to make friends outside of school.

Sorry for the ramble.

I'm afraid I can't stand my bf closest female friend.
I've never met her yet but she seems so obnoxious on social media and she's his only girl friend (his best friend's gf to be honest but they're close too).
I check her insta and snap from time to time and no girl appear on there EVER. She literally only has guy friends and her pics are all duck faced. And when it's not selfies, she pose in the most obnoxious, princessy way if that makes sense ?
Like on pics with guys she often has a smug face (think Aly) and takes the most space ever instead of just standing straight like everyone else.

Thing is my bf is a huge nerd and probably has 3 friends who are not family related. I'm afraid she's one of those girls who have to be the queen bee and "own" every guy around her even if she has a bf.
I wish bf had more friends to choose from.

at least your bf tells you who his friends are.

mine said "it's not important" for me to know (wtf???), then later i find out 9/10 of them are female. when i asked him, he said he cut off contact with them because he didn't need them, but then i found him talking to one of the bitches he used to hook up with.

i'd say kill me but i'm already in hell.

i'm really fucking bitter about men with girl friends so you probably shouldn't listen to me, but imo you should break that shit up. he really shouldn't need that chick, idc how many friends he does or doesn't have. what does he get out of their friendship?

It sounds awful anon but I still think it's cool for guys to have girl friends. I have a huge group of friends where I live, we're about 50 give or take and probably half girls and half guys.

I wouldn't mind at all if he had more girl friends cause I trust him, I just don't like her and she's part of the maybe 5 friends he got TOTAL. He can't get rid of her because she's his best friend's girlfriend so he's bound to hang out with her (the couple live together).
Only annoying thing is he gets very defensive of his friends, probably because he has so little.

I used to have this problem, I won’t lie it’s pretty hard to resolve once you’ve left school. I’ve only recently started to make IRL friends in the last few years by taking up hobbies that require group activity (classes, modelling, group gaming like D&D, etc) and actively pursuing/maintaining friendships.

I wanted to remove a ground-level, rusted and apparently inactive, indoor tap thanks to the impending crawling of my child. After testing the faucets and removing the cap I was satisfied there was no pressure in there. So I got everything I needed together, turned off the mains water, placed towels around the area to protect walls and flooring, and proceeded to start sawing off the pipe…

Now I've been sat here for 90mins watching my house slowly flood. Emergency plumber gave us a 3 hour time slot, the water board told us it would take up to 2 hours for someone to come and turn the water off from the outside, and I've used every piece of fabric in my house trying to soak this water up.

So pissed off and upset. This is going to be so expensive to fix, and it won't be me that pays it because I'm on maternity and poor AF. Seriously thought I'd done my research and knew what I was doing, fucking idiot !!!!

I feel you, anon, but what's important is that you're healthy, not skinny. You need to get enough nutrition, not starve yourself, and that means protein and vitamins. You need to not exhaust yourself from overworking, too, or work smarter not harder, as that can only hurt your body in the long run.
Working on your mental health can help to, because it seems like you're not doing this because you love yourself. Love yourself for other aspects beyond your body, anon, and be healthy, and then you can start worrying about extra stuff like looking skinny or not.

So here it is, birthday eve alone with my dog, drinking gin & diet tonic (I can't get emotionally drunk, sadly - I'm immune). My boyfriend is not even trying to talk to me or make me feel better about the situation. Too shy and afraid to go anywhere alone in this place after the creepy shit I've been through here. There's a cozy cocktail bar, but what am I going to do there alone? I'll just look desperate and pathetic, which I am, or like I'm asking for dick or another stalker, which I'm not.

My big plan for tomorrow? Having lunch with my dogsitter. I hope I fucking die tonight. (No offense to my dogsitter, she's literally the only person in this town I know well enough to do anything with. She's simple but pleasant enough.)

Maybe my boyfriend is on a plane, which would explain his 3+ hour silence but I am pretty fucking sure that's not the case.

We have the same problem. I count my intake, I used to go to the gym regularly (not anymore because it made no difference). I'm sure people think I stuff myself while no one's watching I'm not even that hungry since I'm used to not eating much.

You have to know the pain of having a brother that eats a lot and is skinny as a skeleton. He often teases me about it, in a friendly way but it sucks. I haven't eaten fast food in ages, I don't drink soda and I eat healthily but my body shows otherwise. I'm chubby, or THICC aka on a lower scale of being fat. I hate my body, I hate my curves and I would want nothing more than to be as slim as some girls I know irl. I hate my matronly figure.

On the good side, it doesn't matter if I eat a lot or not, I'm always the same size just I refuse to do so because I hate stuffing myself.

Anyhow, I feel your pain. I think the only way to lose weight is by combining exercise and total intake of 800 cal max per day, and maybe, JUST maybe there might be some results in 6 months.

p.s. I haven't given up. I started doing some HIIT exercises so if that doesn't help I'll just go for surgery. Fuck this shit.

But whenever I try to share my feelings, they instantly start talking about their problems instead….and as they have labeled me as a fashion lover, they believe that they are smarter than me despite the fact that I do much better than them in our classes, and constantly help them with their homework….it's really annoying how they cannot see past their narrow labels….(emailfagging)

I don't want to bother you with something you probably heard but have you tried counting your calories religiously ? I use my fitness pal and it's pretty awesome to have a scanner to do everything for you. They even give you little indications like "This food has too much sodium!". It's really awesome when you think a certain food or snack is healthy when it's secretly loaded in calories.

It seems weird that you go to the gym but barely lose any weight. Sounds dumb but : do you poop regularly ? I had a lot of constipation issues in the past and started drinking coffee to help me with that. Also heard that diet is 80% of your weight loss, although sport is great, you don't lose thaaat much calories (you could work out for an hour and destroy that with a slice of pie)
I also heard sleeping better helps you lose weight so you might want to look into that.

I always thought I was a lost cause because I could only lose maybe 2kg at a time then pile on 3 more but since I downloaded myfitnesspal I lost 5 in a month (still 10 to go but now it seems much more attainable!). My biggest errors were relying on pre-made sandwiches for lunch and eating too much carbs (curse you delicious, cheese heavy pasta with a side of bread). I also visited the pub a bit too much and alcohol is to be avoided when you try to diet, now I stick to around 200cal worth of drink max.

Unfortunately I think we'll always have to watch what we eat to be around a certain weight but that's life.

Has she ever tried to stir the pot with your relationship though? For me that's always the million dollar question, if they respect the boundaries of your relationship does it really matter? If she's trying to get him to prioritize her over you I'd give an entirely different answer.

The onus is really more on your boyfriend than anything. I have friends of the opposite sex, and it's not a big deal.

I'm not afraid of saying who I'm going to hang out with or who my friends are because there's nothing to hide. The only thing I keep private is personal conversations because sometimes people come to me with personal issues and I feel that would be disrespectful, but my actions are entirely open.

>Has she ever tried to stir the pot with your relationship though?
That's a fair point that's why I try to stay level headed. The only thing I didn't like was her being a tad overly affectionate towards my bf (like saying I love you, weird nicknames etc) but it started before we met and I heard it's something that's not too weird for her.
The other thing would be that I try to talk a bit to his friends through snap or messenger but she never messaged/replied to me. I even designed her a little something for her hobby and she never even thanked me directly (and never bothered using it later on top of that).

You're right that I'd never let it slide if she tried to interjects herself in my couple, but then it'd be more of a problem with my boyfriend drawing boundaries. I would be more understanding if he knew her for years and years, but he actually met her something like last year or so ? That's when I told him the "I love you" talk was bothering me from someone who's not family.

If you don’t eat enough macro-nutrients (protein/carbs/fats) your body goes into famine mode and retains literally anything you eat as fat. If you’re only eating 700kcals a day, for example, you’re going to be retaining the whole lot as fat and so will lose very very slowly. Double that amount and your body will begin to process food correctly again, which should allow you to lose weight. Don’t forget that muscle weighs more than fat, so if you’re working out a lot it might be that you’re “replacing” the lost fat bulk with gained muscle bulk. Staying hydrated and eating enough fibre is also very important to weight loss! Don’t get too hung up on calories though - it’s far more important to the body that you’re getting the nutrients you need, if you do the calorie requirement will naturally be fulfilled. Good luck anons, you can do this! :)

High calorie content doesn’t equal unhealthy though. Nuts and seeds are high in calories but they’re super good for your body. Sugar is the worst culprit because it’s lower in calories than fat but has no nutritional value; there’s literally no point in eating it other than it tastes nice, but people genuinely believe that they’re making a sensible diet choice because “low calorie 0% fat!!”

It's good to know but checking calories is also good to have an overall view of what you're ingesting. Some food SEEMS very healthy and natural and all that jazz and still packed with calories or have sodium/other added.

I think if you're aware of that, you'll be more inclined to consume it wisely than just think "Oh nice, nuts and almonds are good for you right ? So I might as well replace my chips with a bowl of them"

I also blame deceitful packaging. I love biscuits and snacks with my tea and you'd think some super healthy looking, very bland ones are going to be great for you when they're basically the same as the chocolate ones.
So IMO, a good balance of knowing your calories, exercise and some basic nutrition knowledge can put you in the healthy BMI range easily. It's just plain hard to ignore the sugar cravings at first.

I've been having a lot of mental health issues lately, and I feel like my dad is only making it worse. I live with him because I'm going to college and don't have time for a job if I want scholarship money, but I honestly think he's making my mentality worse.
I've had around 10 anxiety attacks/mental breakdowns over the past half year, and have been on the edge of suicide way more than that. My dad was front and center to my first 3, so I figured he would do something, but he never did anything. When he asked if I wanted to see a therapist I said yes, but he told me to go find one. I told him that I didn't want to find out which ones would take my insurance because my insurance is through my mom, who mentally abused me as a child/teen and gives me severe depressive thoughts to even think about, let alone admit I need counseling to. I told him this (he would know this is an issue for me because she abused the heck out of him too), but after that he didn't do anything and just let me rot.
Every day he tries to pretend like he's such hot shit, saying how he's twice the man everyone around him is, and is always making himself judge, jury, and executioner while watching the news, and yet he pretends to be some fucking saint by claiming he's a perfect father.
I have a dentist appointment next week, and I already know my teeth are fucked, and I can already see now that he's going to scream at me because of it (which makes my depression go up by 1 million %). I'm seriously just thinking about ending it all so I don't have to deal with it anymore, I'm really sick of people fucking me over every second of the day. Fuck, he even makes fun of people who commit suicide in front of my face and I want to laugh at the irony because that's probably the way I'll go. I don't see much purpose in living because I fear I'm just going to marry a scumbag like him who pretends to be good, and I can never marry a woman because he would piss on my grave since he hates gay people. Honestly, dying seems fine with me, but I know it's not right.

Why is it so hard? Even when I'm doing things I actually like I'm only just craving to going back to that the whole time.

I've had one of those before anon. And I've given birth, more than once, and I will still say that boil was the worst pain I've ever felt in my life. Put hot compresses on it until it pops. I also thought if it's been around long enough doctors could Lance it for you? And they should have put you on some antibiotics or something

I gave birth vaginally, and you're right, this is much worse. When I went, they told me if it doesn't pop on its own, then they'll do lancing/antibiotics, but it's not really at that point yet. No head. I actually got rid of it a week ago by squeezing an Advil liquid gel on it, but it came back yesterday.

IMO there’s only 3 physical features a person will never make “pretty” - poor bone structure, bad skin, and a big nose (as in bumpy/hooked/beaky/asymmetric, not wide nostrils or whatever). I have all 3. Bone structure I can’t change, skin I could have changed if I had started trying sooner, and nose I should have changed years ago. Now I’m stuck in a low-paying job with a child, a house, and other commitments; I should have had rhinoplasty at 18 like I wanted to. Learning to love yourself is great, but I wish I’d acted on how much I hate it sooner. I should have realised that intensity of feeling wouldn’t change.

my boyfriend is unhappy to the point of being at what he describes as the lowest point in his life. he blames me, in large, for taking up his emotional and mental energy and causing a series of events that have negatively impacted his ambitions and his focus.

i never wanted this for him. i never meant to ruin his life by simply existing and being his girlfriend. i knew early on that i would be too much - too unstable, too unreliable, too emotional - for anyone to handle, but he was persistent in being with me. we were happy for a while, but i should have known i could never be a good person, never be what he needed. i should have resisted more, knowing that the kind of person i am and the kind of person he was could never have blended together without negative consequences. i'm not meant for anyone, least of all someone with so bright a future as him.

i want to end this for his sake. he's told me that he wouldn't care or feel anything if the relationship did end, so i know i wouldn't be hurting him; rather, i'd be releasing him from further misery. i can handle whatever pain the breakup brings me knowing that i'm doing what's right for him because i still love him. i have from the beginning and i always will.

but i don't want to leave him when he's telling me he's at an all-time low. when i know and can see and feel that he's not in a good place mentally right now. i might have caused his current state with my past behavior, and i know that every day i'm with him it probably gets worse even when i try to not even speak to him to avoid causing further stress, but i can't just leave him when he's hurting.

i'm stuck: i'm the reason for his current state, but i also can't abandon him while he's like this. i want to let him go so he can be happy again, but i don't want to leave him to be alone when he's so depressed and miserable. i know now that i'll never be able to mend the past and heal him, and i'm not naive enough to believe i have a future with him anymore, but i still refuse to leave him in this state.

i love him, i need to leave him, and i don't know how to help him.

You should leave him, as simple as that.
I don't know why you're feeling so guilty all the time but your bf -according as you said- knew what it would be like to be with you, right? He accepted it and things didn't go as you wished. If you think that much that you're the reason he's miserable, if you're 100% sure you're the problem, why you should be there for him now?

I'm not trying to make you feel worse or anything, actually I'm worried about how you're thinking about yourself right now (I'm sure you're far better than you think you are) but you can't help him if you think you're the reason to his depression. You can't be ''the cure and the disease'' at the same time.

Are you gonna threaten suicide if he leaves, or be in a dangerous position (homelessness) ? If the answer is no then stop feeling like Satan incarnate, it takes two to make a relationship works but only one to end it.

It's like saying all your troubles come from the fact that your house is on fire but also if you get out you won't be able to watch tv inside. If you were really causing him all that pain then he'll be better off alone, simple as that.

For all I know she may just have low self esteem, but I've been in this position with someone who was bipolar. While they made me miserable, I felt I was responsible to be there since they had no one else available. In hindsight it was because they pushed everyone else away for the same reasons I eventually had to cut contact.

Mein Gott, a similar thing happened to me in middle school too. We were friends for a few good months and then she stopped talking to me completely. I didn't do anything wrong.

I find out later in high school through a friend who used to be close to the bitchy girl and guess what? She thought I was a lesbian and so she stopped talking to me (???). I'm not a lesbian and there's nothing wrong with being one.

Basically, ignore her. She's immature as fuck and I'm sure she's sooo great to be around.

I dated this aspie guy back in 2010 after he pressured and guilted me into it. He wasn't the person I thought he was and he turned out to be a selfish ass. It was a mistake and I broke it off after a month or so and remained friends with him out of niceness. Since he always complains about being alone even though he drives the majority of people away. I get slightly triggered when I scroll past >>111835 bc it looks like him.

Anyway, he keeps doing this thing where to force me into a conversation he makes a leading statement, where he expects me to probe him about whatever he just said in order to begin the dialogue about himself.
How can I put it…
A normal person might say "You wouldn't believe this but I just got a money offer for work with one of my favorite photographers!" but instead he says "And we've got an offer." Nothing else follows until I respond.
Huh? What? Who? What offer? Offer about what?
It may not seem so bad if he would do this infrequently. But it's EVERY. FUCKING. TIME.
Like I'm a moron and don't realize what he's doing.
He's the type of person who asks "How are you doing?" hoping that you won't have much to say about yourself just so he can jump straight into talking about himself when you predictably ask back–as it goes in polite conversation.

Not to mention when I made the mistake of confiding in him about some of my relationship problems, he actively encouraged me to dump my bf and was weirdly obsessed about it. Not for my sake though, but because he wanted another chance with me and got excited with glee when he thought my four year relationship was ending (it didn't).

He oozes with such self-centeredness that it seeps into his everyday interactions. Every talk is a 'humble'brag, or a pity party. Nobody likes him, and I'm really just keeping my mouth shut out of politeness but even that is getting difficult. And how do you cut someone out of your life of seven years without looking like the bitch when you've silently accommodated their behavior the entire time? As if you were okay with it all when you were just being polite and empathetic? Fuck, I wish there was a button I could press.

I was in an almost exact position and what I did was just suddenly drop all contact. You might think it's cruel, or a bitch move to do but in the end that type of person doesn't care about others and has extremely low levels of empathy.

Every time I have to make a difficult decision I imagine I did it and how it would feel. 99.9% of time my gut feelings are right. So, it's up to you.

You have to ask yourself, is he really a good friend to you? Do you think that time spent with him is better spent else where? Does he drain you of your energy? Do you procrastinate replying to him just because it feels like a huge chore? Those are the few questions that I ask myself when I get the misfortune of being in contact with such people.

I still get quite intense anxiety in the evening, even though that which caused the anxiety to begin with has ended years and years ago (weird childhood because of super stressed mother, bad relationships, an ex who was a manipulative narcissistic asshole, 2 incidents of not very severe psychosis). I've done a shit ton of work throughout the years to better my mental health, but it's still pretty shit at times (not nearly as bad as it was before).
It always happens during the afternoon (or as soon as it's dark outside), and lasts until i go to bed. The same street i see outside my window in the morning suddenly becomes unreal and eerie as my anxiety sets in. The world feels like my nightmares, as if the feeling of them seeps out of my head and taints the rest of the world. I try to talk to people every day (irl, online and on the phone), i see my parents/sister about once a week, i have a boyfriend that i live with every other week (we're planning to move together at the end of the year), and i regularly see mental health proffessionals, but as soon as i'm alone my anxiety and intense feelings of unease takes over.
Every single day that i spend alone i have constant anxiety and i don't even know why anymore.
I take 3 different kinds of medication, and they all make it slighty better, but it feels like i've hit a wall. I'm afraid i'll always be like this, no matter how much better my circumstances get. I'm afraid it's chronic.

I cry all the fucking time. I often cry for hours each day, because of anxiety, intrusive thoughts, stress and depression.
I have a job that i'm pretty fine with, my own appartment, i eat every day, i work out etc… Why the fuck do i still feel this way.

I've had psychosis twice in my life (one drug-related and one that lasted for months because of a single night terror incident), and this feels just like it, except diluted and drawn out.

I know this is gonna sound stupid, but it feels like i'm almost in a parallel world when i'm alone and anxiety sets in, like in Stranger Things except without all the visual stuff in the "upside down". It doesn't look like the intestines of trees are spread out everywhere, but it sure feels like it.
It's like i can "feel" the underside of everything, and it's scary. This has been going on for years and years. Sometimes it gets better for a few months, then it comes back, and it goes back and forth like that ad infinitum.

I don't even know if this is regular anxiety, depression or something else, all i know is that it feels so fucking lonely, and that i haven't met anyone irl that can relate.

My Aunt just died. He got diagnosed with brain cancer a month ago and suddenly died last week. He got so bad so quickly. I saw her in the hospital and even slept there to take care and watch over her. It was so scary and horrifying seeing someone dying.

This was the closest person to me in my whole family, I have no one else who I've had such a loving and actual bond with. It's so painful. I never knew things could hurt this bad before.

Also started to kind of see my ex boyfriend. I love him a lot, I've never loved a guy before him and I hope maybe we can date again. Right now we are just hanging out/going on dates/hooking up (it's not "exclusive" but neither of us are with other people). I don't expect him to love me again and but if it doesn't work out I'm going to be so crushed. And with that death, it's all feeling worse at the same time.

Family life sucks at my house. It always has but the older I got the more unbearable it feels. I know people will say, be an adult and leave. But my situation is really complicated and leaves me overwhelmed and stressed out.

I live with my only other sibling, and if I left they would not have anyone to help them out with my abusive parents. My parents take it out mostly on me, since they view me as the black sheep (accusing me of being a prostitute, call me a whore for driving places, tell me I'm ugly and stupid, they are super conservative and crazy).

I also go to a college which my dad cosigns my loans for. If I left school, I would have no cosigner, without that I cannot afford school and if I took off semesters to work to save up for school I would be forced to start paying my loans, which I cannot afford to do. I have medical issues which thankfully are mostly covered by my parents insurance but if I move out they will disown me and I will be removed and have no health care.

Due to my horrible family life and stress I have built up anxiety and depression issues. I've been put in the loony bin x4 times in the past 3 years for these issues. I can't really go out and have fun with anyone since I'm not allowed out past like 7PM (can't break the rules or my parents will kick me out, sucks but oh well) and because I have so much sadness and anxiety from my stress that I can't bring myself to see anyone or be able to have fun. Whenever I have tried to have fun or do my makeup or anything my parents have ruined it by spamming my phone, calling me a stupid whore, telling me I can't go out because I have to clean the floors etc. It really hurts to try really hard and then just have it pulled down from under me.

I feel like maybe this all sounds really juvenile but I'm under so much stress that recently I've been even more suicidal than I ever was in my life. each year the depression seems to get worse but this time I really have come up with more solid ideas in my head about suicide and how I should do it. I've never felt like I should do it this much. I'm trying so hard to keep going but it's so hard when you have nobody.

I'm sorry to hear that, anon. When my grandparents died; it felt like my entire family became different people for several weeks after it happened. Some of the people who didn't care suddenly became unnecessarily greedy. Some of the people who were extraordinarily nice dropped all pretenses of liking me and showed their true colors.

I think some people just deal with loss in different ways, and it results in awful examples from otherwise nice people. Maybe what you can do is go to your ex, just tell him that you need a shoulder to cry on, and use that time to unwind and let him know how you have been feeling. He might be more receptive than you think.

As for suicide, just remember the adage: "This too shall pass". Your feelings are temporary, and your life will go on. Give it a few weeks and see if you can find a way to return to relative normalcy.

I've been having a problem and I wanted to know if I have just been obsessive. This may sound really petty, but bear with me.

Sometime before the weekend; I was getting in my car, and I lost my tablet. I think I set it on top of the car and maybe drove off.

This has hit me really hard for reasons I cannot quite realize. It's just a tablet, and it's a machine that people replace yearly (I've had this one three or so years). So why was I so upset about losing this one? There are some pictures on it I can't replicate and weren't uploaded, but that's about it.

Either ways it's left me depressed for the last few days and I just want to know; am I overreacting? How do I let go of this stupid piece of machinery that feels like it's left an actual hole on me?

I think it's a normal reaction. I keep electronics until they are on death's door. If I lost or broke one, I'd feel bad about it even if it's time to replace it anyway. I'd probably be hard on myself about breaking it. I have some attachments to certain objects so that could be in play.

Just remember that it's not an important thing. You'll get a new, better one and eventually you won't think about the old one anymore. It just takes time.

I had €800 in cash stolen from me a year ago by movers and I'm still not over it tbh. That little box of carefully collected bills had so much sentimental value for reasons I won't detail here.

I feel like due to having had experiences with men and none with women I just HAVE to have a gf, I just have to try, and it's bugging me. I even dream about it at night. It's becoming obsessive.
So I'm working on it, wish me good luck

In light of the texas shooting a few days ago, I'll repost this list again.

>Men commit the vast majority of crimes, especially violent ones

>Men idolize violence
>Virtually all mass killing and shootings were perpetrated by men
>Men lack any real empathy, except for sometimes other men
>Men are literally wired to view women as merely objects
>Men only desire women to fulfill their sexual needs and bear children
>Men sexually harass and assault women daily
>Countless women are raped and murdered by men every single day
>Men refuse to be held accountable for any of this and are entirely complacent with it when it does not involve them

Witnessed a mentally disabled person go into a rage and try and break everything in my store while their helper had to restrain them. Still shaken up about it, not sure why I’m so effected. She was screaming and her face was so angry, she tried grabbing at me as I picked up things she know I over to clear a path for her helper to bring her outside… he came back to apologize which was kind, and I understand this happens. Just so scary, and damn I give so much respect to those who work with people who fall into violent rages like that on the daily. Damn

I'm not going to address every point, because it's ridiculous. But I will say that when you post shit like this:

>>Men only desire women to fulfill their sexual needs and bear children


Really it just shows how inexperienced you are with actual relationships and that you may be one to be pitied. Many men have just as much emotional depth and desire for long-term fulfilling relationships as women. I mean how do you account for all the happy nuclear families out there? Even if half of them are secretly resentful of each other, there's still a shit ton of dudes marrying women and starting loving and healthy families. I personally know of at least 10 such people in my immediate social circle and family.

So.. did your daddy not love you enough, or what's the deal here?

my bf and i are going through a rough patch lately due to external factors and every time we fight it results in sex. the worst part is that it’s mindblowingly good sex, like better than when we just fuck regularly. like last night we went from fighting and crying to fucking and it was honestly the best sex i’ve ever had with him.

i’m worried it’s going to set a bad precedent or make us associate sex with bad things or whatever. i feel like it’s already happening. i need to stop letting it happen (or encouraging it) but it’s just relieves the tension and we can go to sleep happy…so it’s hard. i hope shit looks up soon.

got a crush on my guy friend I met this year but he's in a relationship and I don't think he likes me that way anyway. He's a flirty and sociable person naturally and I'm afraid I misconstrued a lot of "signals" which are him being nice, and he's also a decent person who wouldn't cheat on his girl even tho they are in a ldr currently

and the girl is just portrayed by everyone as little miss perfect like smart and nerdy and kind and always upbeat and it makes me want to throw up, nobody is that perfect c'mon.

so I have to deal with this the hard way and every time my stomach flutters I have to grab that emotion by the balls and drown it before it develops and it's miserable af. When we sit side by side on the couch with zero personal space, when he compliments me and calls me beautiful/adorable/cutie patootie, when he lays his arm over my lap so I stroke his skin with my fingertips, when we chat on skype for hours, it's… just friends

oh wow I wish good post-fight sex would happen to me. My bf sometimes tries to use sex as a way to make up and I have such an aversion to it when I'm feeling hurt/angry - like don't EVER touch me or smooth over your words with your penis, asshole. I view everything as him being condescending or trying to manipulate me when I'm in that mood.

So I admit I'm envious bc something in me just shuts down - but I understand that it seems like it's happening too often. Is there a middle ground? Could you guys have some kind of post-fight cuddling instead of sex, or is the sex like a distraction from the real issues? Sorry if these are dumb questions.

Everything's so stagnant and empty.

Nothing new happens in my life, I don't meet any new people. I come back from uni, it's late, I'm too tired to do things. If I go out with a friend, we only do the same stuff as always. I wish I could just go to some ukulele classes or shit, but no one wants to go with me. I thought I'm the socially inept one, but I realized many people considered "normal" don't step out from their comfort zones like ever. It's making me angry when I have to almost drag people out of their homes, because they would rather just lay in bed watching TV. I wish someone dragged ME around. I need someone outgoing with whom I would feel challenged, growing.
But yeah. Here I am, spending my life in my room, less creative every day, barely meeting friends because I'm done just wasting time at their houses, but also too anxious and tired and stressed to do stuff alone.

that anon here, i think it’s more normal and healthy to not fuck after fighting, tbh, i wish i had the same sense to say no.

most of the time we’ve already made up before we fuck, so we aren’t really fucking the anger away, just relieving tension and getting in a better mood? the problem is that often we go right back to fighting not even an hour afterwards, and then make up and screw again, and by then it’s bedtime so we sleep. but a lot of times i feel vulnerable and used because i know it won’t last and we will fight again. cuddling would be a less vulnerable spot.

this stuff probably happens 1-2 times a week.

It took me almost 2 weeks to get out of that mindset when my wallet got stolen. I just kept imagining that it would turn up, that the person who took it might have a change of heart and drop it off at a post office or in a mailbox or something and that it would get mailed to me (yeah fucking right). Every day I came home my heart would jump a little checking the mail because I would imagine it being there. And I'd trigger myself by imagining the person going through my wallet, using my stuff, stealing my identity or something. It's a really shitty feeling but it does go away eventually. It just takes time.

I sprained my ankle over a week ago and it was so bad I couldn't walk on it for a while without intense shooting pains up my leg. It finally started to feel better yesterday, then when I was walking around today it started hurting again. I google searched it and apparently some sprains can take 2+ weeks to heal. I'm annoyed because it hurts so much that I don't like to walk on it unless I absolutely have to, and I haven't been able to exercise or get outside so I feel like shit.

The hypochondriac in me is worried that I might have torn a ligament or done some sort of worse damage to my ankle but I'm too scared and too poor to go to a doctor for xrays or anything. I'm 99% sure it's just a bad sprain but it's been almost a week now with no improvement so the worry nags at me. I was so sure it was getting better too. Augh.

It's feeling really hard for me right now because I checked with Google to see if it had been turned on since I lost it, and it hasn't.

So now the question is; where did it go? Did no one find it? Did I lose it someplace that could take weeks for someone to even look there? Is it right under my nose? Is it actually someplace perfectly safe and I'm too dumb to think about it being there?

These questions will genuinely haunt my dreams.

anon, my wallet was stolen and I had the same reaction. I was sure someone would return the wallet without the money or credit cards (I had expensive IDs in there since I'm an expat). Nothing, not even the wallet, ever showed up. I contacted every place I could think of,posted signs, everything. This happened in a city where a lot of stuff supposedly gets returned.

It hurts. It's agonizing. And I'm so sorry. It is better, perhaps, to take steps to get a new one and try to put it out of your mind.

at least you try, anon. Tbh I would join a feminist book club but there are no such things in my culture as book clubs. I would love if my uni had something like hobby clubs, but every club is related to the major and people are so serious about it, no one even wants to know your name, they would kill me if I was standing on their way to write some shitty monograph for more scholarship points.

I would gladly follow your advice if I wasn't so socially anxious. I can't really get into a group, this is beyond my skills. Some situations, like when I try to introduce myself or join a conversation and people just simply ignore me (because I have no presence), and one person catches that and looks at me awkwardly and then choose to ignore me too, still haunt me at nights lol. Because of stuff like this, trying things solo really just depress me, it's not worth it. Leaves me feeling like shit. I know I can't go through life just clinging to someone more outgoing, but I certainly am the type that needs some help to grow. Would love to grow with someone, together. Eh

That's why I tend to like projects. I mean yeah, I get how it can be hard to introduce yourself or make small talk. That's why I generally suggest shared interests, you can bond over that and/or a shared goal and actually getting to know the person tends to follow. If the university isn't an option, I'd still suggest meetup.com or facebook events or some shit like that.

One thing that really helped me was taking a sales position actually. Shit job, but I learned how to be able to talk clearly so even if I'm not comfortable with a situation I can communicate my intent much more easily.

Very recently I found out I'm either gay or bi. I have no clue how to meet girls other than tinder/online dating or gay bars (do lesbians even go to them?) and I am not really a clubbing kind of person. A lot of girls either seem out of my league or vapid/boring when I look online.

As a long-time bisexual woman, meeting women is much like meeting men: be sociable. There are dating apps solely for gay women, lesbians definitely do go to gay bars, and lesbian/bi women exist IRL just like straight men do. I've met at least one in every job I've worked at, every educational facility, every social activity, etc.

You're always going to meet women who will cut and run the minute they find out you're questioning. The trick is to be normal and be honest - get to know them as people (not just aS a potential partner), confirm there is a possibility for romance (ie they are gay/bi and like you in that way), and then work out your own feelings BEFORE you act on it. When you do act on it, they will be doing so knowing that you are entering new territory and that it might not end up in tru luv. People just don't like being used as an experiment with no regards to their feelings. Good luck anon!

i just don't know HOW. i have no one to ask. i love them, but every woman in my entire family has become a miserable babymachine housewife by 20 (except for the 38 year old still in retail) and have always just used a boyfriend or husband for literally everything they have.

Why is life even worth living? People will always hurt you and you'll always be stressed and working and working to buy things to live/make you feel better. I feel like I should just kill myself because eventually I'll get old and I'll be worth nothing. Are life experiences even worth it? I'm jealous and I feel like I'll never be comfortable with myself. I'm 18 and I work as a cashier at a grocery store working 40 hours a week making less than $300 dollars. Working at a job like that has made me realize that people view me as less than them and they just look right through me as if I'm nothing.

Sociologists say its from how much internet porn has completely destroyed what sex is supposed to look like.

Me and my first boyfriend used to role play/fantasise about some abhorrent things, neither of us have ever wanted to take it to IRL. I’m sure nearly everyone on this site has fantasised about a scenario that wouldn’t excite them if it really happened. The fact he’s so cagey and disgusted by it is actually a good thing - he knows it’s wrong and actually far less likely to act on it.

Doesn’t mean that what >>211534 said isn’t a point though. Yeah sure everyone is at risk of being cheated on and molestation often has no correlation with attraction, but do you want it on your mind if it’s a fantasy you can’t indulge?

There’s growing evidence that organic paedophilia (“true” attraction) is a sexual orientation. Taking it to bare bones biology, any adult sexual attraction that isn’t to an opposite-sex adult is atypical because it’s impossible to reproduce, which is basically what defines a paraphilia. Homosexuality used to be described as a paraphilia for this reason.

Also to point out that society as a whole tends to call anyone who likes people under the age of consent a paedophile, when biologically speaking as long as said person can reproduce they’re no longer biologically a child. Not a fully-formed adult for sure, and still fucking weird because of personality etc, but it’s not the same as being attracted to a 3 year old or something.

One of my exs is orbiting me pretty bad.
On Halloween he sent me a drunk fb recording telling me how pathetic he is and how much he misses me. I didn't respond.
Then last week he took a screencap of my relationship status on my fb that says "It's complicated with bf" and asked me (pretty aggressively) what that meant. I explained to him the truth, that my bf and I got on some rough ground and I had changed it last year. I simply forgot to change it back and we're not planning on breaking up. Relationships are kinda complicated anyway? Not that we depend on fb to define how our relationship is. My bf has lived with me for three years and we get along fine.

I explained all that to him, and he ignored me until last night just to PM me another 'Miss you.' I've been politely deflecting and being honest with how I feel, but I'm starting to get resentful.
Truth is, I don't think he even "misses" me. I think he just wants me to reciprocate attention and wouldn't give two shits about me otherwise. He probably only sends me this shit when he's drunk or high anyway. And who knows how many other girls he PMs saying the same shit, hoping one of them responds.
I'm like a supply, and I felt that way when we dated back in freakin' 2010 too. Things were always about his needs and his damage, which is why I left.
Idk why he even thinks that if he had a chance, that it would work out. He lives like two states away from me in abject poverty. None of it is logical.

the single thing is bothering me too. it seems like every person i meet who shows some interest has already shagged my sister (small ruralish community).
my last relationship was way back in 2012 but it was abusive, and since then i've freaked out on anyone who tried to get closer and pushed them away. even though i want nothing more than a close relationship again. feel like an idiot.
i am quite ugly and lumpy so it's not like i have an infinite resource of men to push away either, but i don't know how to stop.
i've sort of willingly let myself get led on in an online "relationship" with a guy and it's shady as hell, but i think i carry on with it knowing it's fucky because it's easier than dealing with intimacy issues.

As funny as I think that is, have you considered moving or something?

While I'm glad she seems to have finally found something healthy, I struggle balancing the fact we rarely hang out now against respecting the fact she has so little time and energy left juggling everything.

My friend gave away something of mine and informed me afterwards that she did it. I am upset as fuck, because she has done this a lot. She did not have the courtesy to ASK me can she sell/give MY things away. Instead she did it and then informed me and apologised for it. It was clearly a "easier to apologise than to get permission" -situation. She has been getting upset randomly over shit and has been hostile for the last month. This was the last straw and I am on full avoidance mode of her. The problem with her, is that she does things and apologises with a grand gesture but re-does it again and again. If confronted, she play as the victim.

She is either a good friend or borderline embodied to deal with and I am not sure can I deal with it much longer. It's hard to deal with her, since I am pretty sure she has borderline, but she goes out of her way to act out her borderline towards me. I have gotten guilt tripped by crying MULTIPLE times, targeted with her inability to control her inappropriate anger, her being paranoid towards me, her emotionally tripping me over things with her mood episodes. When the "shit will go down mode" hits, she attempts to get people around her to gang up on the person she is feeling threatened by.

I have avoided her for a bit now and it is just so much easier, but I know I am a bitch for it.

this is adulthood. most adults wind up settling down with a partner and that's who they spend the vast majority of their time with, not friends. and when they actually create a family, there is even less time for friends (outside of like your kid's friend's parents etc).

i notice people seem to really struggle breaking the "bros before hoes" mentality in young adulthood but your friends just aren't that important as you get older. that isn't to say you shouldn't have friends, but don't expect them to want to hang out when they have a family and other obligations.

basically having a kid is the most normie thing you can do and it will boil the personality out of you.

For some reason, this month just isn't my month. I've been turning in assignments late, and fucking up left and right. I did my Persuasive speech last minute and made an ass out of my self in front of everyone and cried. I thought I had to together, but I keep slipping up and going back to my bad habits. I want to change, but I don't know how. I'm 2017% done with this, honestly.

Let me just start by saying that I don't even wear makeup but I find the gleeful joy over the #makeapp #haggening on Twitter and discussions related to it on imageboards, /g/ mainly, disgusting.
As soon as anything puts women in a remotely bad position, men will do their best to vilify women as much as they can. I was at least hoping /g/ would be spared from that but they have 2 ongoing threads.

But the amount of energy they put into degrading women with whatever tools they have at hand is vomit inducing. Men really don't see women as humans. Nothing new, I know but I never thought they hated women this much, which such passion. No matter what, they will find a fault in a woman and throw insults at her. And then they ask why women apply makeup in a world where a woman is primarily judged for her looks.

Though I wish women didn't overreact to that app either. It just made matters worse.

It was my 21st Birthday yesterday, and even though i'm blessed enough to have people wish me happy birthday online, i have no irl friends. I went out for my birthday meal with my bf and his best friend. Even the guys gf couldn't make it.

It honestly makes me feel worthless. I'm in my 3rd year of uni, working, and i don't have any friends to invite to something like a birthday meal. My uni course is a sausage fest and my job is the same but they're double my age. Ever since i left secondary school (high school) i'm just been…alone. I am blessed with a loving boyfriend who spoiled silly but i've never had the luxury of having the typical "student" life.

I'm 26 now and have a few irl friends who are wayyy better than my old ones. Having no friends at 21 is not an indicator about future friendships. In fact, I'd argue your 20s is actually the time when you sort out who you want to be friends with.

M8 I’m in the same boat. My 22nd birthday was spent completely alone because my bf worked and my best friend lives hours away. Anytime I make new friends they’re quick to drop me because I’m so fucking awful at checking in and texting and replying to posts on facebook/Instagram etc. I’m good in person and can talk for hours, but I rarely see these people outside of work or courses because I’m too drained after hours to hangout.
My bf is wonderful and honestly my best friend, and his guy friends are wonderful too. His friends out more effort into our personal friendship than my own friends. I think I prefe them because Its not expected of me to have to text them all the time because they’re my bfs friends, so it’s easier for me…..but some nights you just want a girl friend to hangout with or go grab a bite to eat with. Only 2 of them have gfs, the one is fairly recent, and the other I can’t stand lmao. My mom only ever had 1 friend because she couldn’t stand any of hers so i know my destiny is pretty much written in the stars

I've decided to stop speaking to male best friend. I've known here for quite some time now– he lives a very different life from mine but we always had a good relationship. He's a sex worker and is now 'squatting' (baguettefag here so I'm not sure if that's how you say it in English. By 'squatting' I mean that he lives illegally in a place with other people). He has a bachelor's degree but doesn't want to go back to uni and is now 25. We used to have deep conversations and have fun together but now he has become quite mean. Last time I saw him with my bf (who's straight) he told him straight guys are boring and vapid. Then my bf went to the toilets and he told me he had no respect for me. He has changed since I got with my bf as for him being in a relationship is stupid…etc. I've always respected him, never judged him (for what he does, for the life he lives) and he's now openly judging me for everything I do. I've felt sad for months cause I thought my life sucked. I'm sick of him and how he makes me feel about myself but I don't know if I'm overreacting or not

I live at home while I go to school and I'm fed up with it.

I'm sick of my mother's addiction. You name it and she's addicted to it - food, meth, alcohol, smoking, 50 different kind of pills. It's horrible!

She does nothing but lay on her fat ass in bed all day, commanding me to clean the house, which is full of HER messes.

Literally everyone in the house either works, goes to school, or both. We leave the house looking clean in the morning only to find it a fucking mess when we get home because she gets drunk and stumbles around doing god knows what. And then she has the nerve to tell me I'm fat and lazy. Bitch I take care of the house AND go to school. She just sits around all day like Jabba the Hutt and I feel like poor princess leia.

It wouldn't be so bad if she wasn't verbally and physically abusive. The worst part is that when she tries to get tough with me, I will fight her back, and I'm stronger than her. So when she starts losing, she'll run out into the neighborhood screaming for someone to call the police like a common redneck. She's done this so much that the neighbors have learned to ignore her and the police no longer come when she calls.

Oh, and the candle on top of the shit cake? THIS IS MY HOUSE! I bought it with MY OWN MONEY. But my sister, who helped chipped in refuses to let me kick her out. She complains about our mother constantly, but is under some kind of Stockholm syndrome where she starts to feel bad for my mom if I even bring up the possibility of kicking her out. She's all "We can't put her out on the streets!" I think it would be GOOD for her to suffer a bit and realize how great she's got it here. She's got all the food she can eat, her own room and bathroom, and she does NOTHING. All I want is for that fat old closet dyke coalburner to learn how to shut her god damned mouth.

Sorry, I’ve actually conducted research studies on self-admitted paedophiles and most of them had either never watched porn or had minimal interest in it (exceptionally less so than the average male). Women also put themselves forward for this study, some of male ones were bisexual, and most of them were also sexually attracted to adults (up to age 60). All of them professed to realising this attraction at the onset of puberty. It seems the empirical evidence doesn’t agree with your point, which sounds rather more like a feminist agenda against porn rather than a logical conclusion.

I'm actually going to just ditch the house once I'm done with school and get a new job. My mother destroys houses very quickly.

She's been through approximately 7 houses since I was born. She thoroughly destroyed every single one.

Here's some common ways she destroys houses:

She refuses to potty train her dogs/doesn't let them outside so they shit and piss all over the carpet. Who has to clean it up? Not her lazy ass. She will watch her dog shit, call me over and demand that I pick it up. Which I do because it's disgusting and I can't stand the idea of it being there. If I don't, she will walk away and leave it there. One time I went on strike for a month, and the entire living room was filled with shit. She didn't even care, other than to complain that the house smells like piss.

She gets drunk and falls into shelves, walls, whatever and breaks them.

She gets angry and throws knives at the walls.

She insists on pushing her bed up against her bedroom wall and rubs her dirty black feet all over them while she sleeps.

She breaks EVERYTHING. I don't know how. She broke the oven as soon as we moved in, and the stove recently stopped working. But that's okay, because she lives off of ice cream, peanut butter (like, plain peanut butter. She eats it BY THE JAR), and microwaved top ramen anyway.

She smokes weed and meth in her room, it now smells like chemicals and dirty pussy.

She floods the bathroom regularly when she showers.

I don't know how she does it, but she pisses and bleeds into the toilet and manages to miss. The floor around her toilet is covered in piss and old period blood. She's going through menopause right now, so it's REALLY old period blood.

She leaves crumbs everywhere and attracts ants.

The rare occasion that she cooks, she always flicks the wooden spoon around, splattering the kitchen with whatever gross shit she's making for her burnt out alcoholic taste buds.

I recently posted a rant about my pedophile uncle, but at this point I almost wonder if I would rather trade him for her. They're both shitty people with too much redneck blood in them.

Her name is on the deed. I was like, 5,000 dollars short of the down payment so she helped me.

We have a very big family, so it's a big (6 bedroom) house. But we're not rich people. It took my life savings to afford this place.

I don't understand my sister's relationship with our mother. My mother takes about 60% of her income. Like literally, she just tells my sister "Give me $200, I want to have fun at the casino." And she'll do it. My sister has even complained to me that most of her money goes to our mom, but she won't listen to me when I tell her to cut her off. She's too afraid of confrontation with my mother. There are times where my sister is crying because my mother is screaming at her, scratching her face telling her that she's a fat whore and she's gonna tell her boyfriend about the way she's treating her. And when I come to defend her (because I love her despite her shortcomings), my sister looks at me with utter venom and tells me to shut the fuck up, and that I need to mind my own fucking business, and that I'm a nosy cunt. WTF?!!! She's my little sister, so it's not like she's trying to protect me from our mother or something.

She's an excellent con artist. She constantly begs the rest of our family for money and they give it to her. Keep in mind our family is big, but poor.

My friend obsessed over fictional characters to the point where she won’t date men who are not exactly like that character. Is it that you’re comparing ur bf to this character, or does he feel inferior/jealous?
Why do you think you have such love for his character? Could it be that something is lacking in your currently relationship that’s causing you to cling to this, or maybe something in your life you’re not yet settled with?

I mean, kind of? But the difference is a few percentage points. You're making it sound like women are all faithful and men are at high risk when the difference is like 22% male versus 20% female have cheated.

I can relate. At this point I'm just weirded out by men, with few exceptions. When a guy does something good, show sensitivity and kindness, I'm shocked. Sounds ridiculous, I know. It's like sometimes I forget they're human too. But man around me are so stupid, maybe I do have high expectations but on the other hand I'm sure I won't date below my league (however arrogant this may sound…). And I know my type exists, like I just want an intelligent man who reads, loves animals, is sensitive and good-natured. Is this really too much to ask? It's not like I have nothing to offer, too.
I don't know, I find it depressing that maybe someday I will settle for some jerk because of frustration and loneliness. I see so many wonderful women around me dating scumbags or just ugly shallow idiots. Do wholesome men even exist???

On its face, not really. Fairly reasonable desires. But if you forget men are people and think they're all stupid, yeah probably. My friend is dating a good guy and I can't imagine them ever dating if she carried that mentality.

I keep going full bpdtard on my bf and i really hate myself for it. i’ve been through dbt and thought i had a good handle on it but i’m so suspicious of my bf and feel awful about myself 24/7.

it’s not really out of nowhere, 2 months ago he did some pretty awful shit (not cheating but something else) and it totally destroyed my trust in him. he’s been trying REALLY hard to make up for it since but he still does some sketchy shit or says it to his friends. but i can’t tell if that’s actually happening or i’m just so borderline over him that i’m making shit up.

i should just dump him. i know rebuilding trust isnt overnight but i feel absolutely insane and suicidal, can’t sleep at night, etc. i know these feelings would go away once he wasn’t in my life.

Maybe you are right, but I'm not hateful or anything. It's not like I approach every guy thinking they're all stupid. That was just an observation of my circles. I don't even have a good example from my friends, like you do. All my girlfriends are dating awful guys. Not like abusing tier, but definitely problematic and if they asked for an advice on relationships thread, lolcow would say DUMP. lol.

What’s been going on that makes you think he will leave you for this obsession with the character?
Is it like a juvenile character? Maybe you just have an obsessive type personality, like my friend she will cling to one character for years at a time and literally be ALL about them till the next obsessions comes along, and there is nothing wrong with that. Granted sometimes it’s annoying when I don’t really care at the time what they did in episode 200 but because she’s my best friend I will listen and get excited with her because it’s what makes her happy. I’d hope that’s what your boyfriend can do for you as well, but obviously I’m not sure on the whole situation. Maybe just explain to him how you feel and ask why it bothers him so much?

I have a obsessive type personality, your friend sounds a lot like me. I have always been like this including before I met him but it seems to have recently sparked something in him. He really dislikes it and I think it might be sparking some kind of jealous feelings.
I've tried explaining but he won't accept it because he doesn't like how it makes him feel. I never knew before now but I can't let it go. He said we might have to break up if I can't change, it bothers him that much and it has lead to some heated arguments.

I'm really insecure about my bf two timing behind my back.

Now, he doesn't seem like the type at all, is kind of spergy and introverted, has given me access to all his electronics and is online 90% of the time as soon as he gets home from uni but that's not what worries me.
He's a huge gamer and really into the whole twitch/streamer culture, joins a lot of discords and likes adding people, etc. He doesn't stream himself and from what I've seen doesn't really share much with his online friends, but before he met me he used to chat with some Asian girls and acted sorta playful with them (not quite flirting but close), and we live in different towns so I really don't know what goes on when I'm not around.

He knows I'm not okay with camgirls, sexting, flirting etc at all and I don't think he'd do anything but we haven't been dating long and for all I know it could just be a facade. It's driving me crazy, I like him a lot but it's giving me a lot of anxiety.

Drink as much water as you can, even if you're not thristy at all, it'll help to hidrate your body and maybe you'll feel better.

Lately I feel like I've been losing my patience. And it's not when something ''hard'' happens, it can happen even when some small things bother me. For example, my friend is writing a story which I read daily because she's writing atm. She asks me for my opinion and I really like it, which I don't really like it's how she always has to tell me what's going to happen next. I even told her that I don't like spoilers and I prefer to wait but she just doesn't care. Which leads me to feel her as nuisance. I know it's silly, I already talked with her about it but I just can't stop the feeling.

Another friend of mine talks non-stop about a music band which she loves. I like the band, I just don't like being spammed everyday, all the time. If it's now my first friend with her story, it's the other one with her music, if not there's always someone doing almost nothing but bothering me anyway.

I think that's because my life has been hard. Lost both parents at 17, living alone since that age, having no familiar support and currently in a job which I don't like because I haven't found a job related with my studies (I finished my college degree just five months ago).
Sometimes I wish my life was as exciting as before, I'm only 24 years old and I know people thinks I'm not living my life at its fullest. What they can't understand is that I'd give anything to have my old life back, there isn't a day when I don't want my parents back. Just a few years ago my worries were the same that all of my friends have now and it just hurts SO much to know that everything's for me and that I can't do anything to change it.

For example, a few weeks ago two friends were talking about living together in a rented house. I have my own house (because of what happened with my parents and me being the only child) and when people tell me I'm ''lucky'' because of it, I feel so much bitterness that I can't express it with words.

People around me can't comprehend why I don't like partying at Christmas (for example), I don't like going out because I know that not even one family member is expecting to see me the next day at the dinner table, I don't like to think that nobody cares if I'm safe at home even if it's 5 o'clock in the morning. Some years ago I had it all, lunches and dinners with my close-relatives which lasted for hours, presents with a meaning, having to cancel plans with my friend to be with my family and now I have…None of it.

I hate how there's nothing I can realistically do to make the brat that lives above my apartment to stop running and jumping loudly for hours at a time between 7am-10pm.
I've lived next to a train, I've lived with drug-addicted business majors, and I've lived in college dorms–none of them can compare to how obnoxious this kid is.

It happens every fucking day, almost like the kid has no toys or anything else to occupy his playtime besides run from one side of the apartment to the other. It's not so much the noise as it is the vibrations and rattling of shit in my apartment. Earplugs won't solve that.
And the bitch mother is too lazy to take her little shit outside, to the playground a literal 50 yards away, to work off some energy. Snow and weather aren't excuses because we're southern, the weather is brisk at worst during the day right now.
Worse still is that they're constantly home because the mother is a useless leech and the kid doesn't go to school for an illegal reason I'm sure.

They pretend they don't speak English, and magically when they get the message that maybe they're being too loud, say "Oh well, you know how kids are." YEAH YOU STUPID BITCH, I KNOW KIDS ARE KIDS BUT YOU'RE THE ADULT WHO SHOULD TELL THEM TO CALM THE FUCK DOWN EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE.
I've talked to apartment management, but of course they're toothless and just send lease "warnings" that obviously have gone ignored.

Like it's not my fault their broke ass can't afford a house so the kid can be a shitlord 24/7. I don't do dancing exercise in my apartment because I know how loud it could be for the people downstairs. I don't clean after certain hours because I know the noise could wake people.
I just want to hire someone to stomp loudly outside their door late at night just so they can know how it is to live with constant annoyance. Not every legitimate grievance against someone's kid is some bitter old cat lady who wants to quash someone's childhood funsies. I just want the parents to be reasonable about their brat. Even my friends and bf who've experienced the stomping agree.

I don't know how legal things work in your country but we (other neighbours & me) had the same problem with a woman whose dogs wouldn't stop barking for HOURS. She had three little dogs who couldn't stand being without her (i.e. when she was working) so they barked all the time, from 10/11 am to 6/7 pm.
Even in summer, when she had holidays, the dogs were barking at 3 or 4 am. It was insufferable.
So we decided to fill a police report. When the dogs were barking non-stop, we also called the police so they could see what we were saying was true, and some neighbour even recorded videos and audios for hours, just in case she denied it.
They gave her a fine and warned her about having to lose their dogs if she wasn't capable of controlling them. I know it's more difficult with children and all but maybe a warning sign will be the start of changes for them? Idk

This just sounds like a really weird situation, like why would your bf even care? Does he not have stuff that he likes? Does he not watch football every week or his favorite tv show? Honestly, I wouldn't feel bad about it if he left you over something as petty and dumb as that, if he thinks that he needs to be jealous over somebody who legit does not exist. This isn't your fault, anon.
But, at the same time, if he brings up legitimate concerns (like you become annoying about it and only talk about that all the time), then listen to him. Just don't think this is all your fault and don't be down about people who only want you to care about them them them all the time and nothing else. Not worth your time.

Stupid venting but hey, felt the need. Met a guy who's just like me (mental issues and cultural background included) and I liked very much speaking to him. He told me very often he loved me but I didn't felt it as something very serious as it is very early.
I saw him randomly today at a convention and was excited to see him, just said hi and went back to my friends, hoping to bump into him again later to have a discussion. He left the convention early without saying bye, just a text saying "I already left :x" and I was bitter he haven't said anything but whatever.
I saw he met another girl who looks like she has some of the same problems he has, and seemed right of the bat interested, and he left a caption on an other picture saying "I'm happy to have known you, sorry." and I feel like it's about me and he's switching girls because I wasn't as responsive regarding to his "I love you" and such.

I agree with the other anon in that it won’t be worth being upset over if he was to leave you over something like that. You said that this character sometimes feels like all you have besides your bf, can’t he see why that’s part of why you cling to them? People sometimes cling to things that help them through tough situations. I’m the anon with the friend who’s similar to you, and her recent obsession is really what brought her through her depression, so how Can I not be excited with her when she finds happiness in getting new merch or makes me watch the movie 10000th time. Because of her obsession I grew my interest in the series and have such a love for all the characters. Hell, your bf should be happy that you’re easy to shop for - I imagine anything related to what you’re into is a perfect gift!
It’s upsetting that he feels frustrated with you, but anon I hope you don’t take it personally. It’s part of who you are, it’s what makes you you. If he can’t accept that, if he can’t try and embrace that, if he can’t be happy with what makes you happy - than he’s not the one for you. It hurts like hell I know, but anyone who is legit going to breakup over something like that especially after your efforts at explaining to him, doesn’t deserve you

I understand what it’s like anon, but the biggest and most important part in a relationship especially long distance is trust. If you really have no other reason to suspect he’s cheating besides how he used to talk to Asian girls back in the day than you’re probably good.
Imagine if he was in your position constantly asking you if you’re cheating and implying you don’t believe him, it can hurt. Trust him anon, and if he is doing things that make you feel uncomfortable maybe ask for those boundaries, like tel me how you know the people you’re adding or who you’re talking to. My bf and I struggled a while with trust because of my anxiety and past relationship hurts too, and so he agreed to boundaries that might’ve seemed ridiculous at first but he knew it’d help me feel better. Our trust grew from then on out and has really helped me. It’s worth a shot if you’re unable to just be vulnerable and trust

This sounds kinda dumb, but I am afraid, that my mother hates me. Since I can remember, she always favoured my younger brother - he is the one who gets promised a car if he manages to graduate hs - i was expected to graduate with good grades so no one did anything. I managed to go to university now but I have problems socializing with others since I grew up pretty sheltered and never had much experience in making friends. I think my mother hates me, because I don't resemble her at all ( she is super outgoing and I am not) and she might see my dad's older sister in me whom she dearly hates (My aunt suffers from a mental illness that runs in my dad’s family & also hates my parents) I'm trying to have somewhat of a relationship with my own brother so the story doesn't repeat itself, but it's really hard due to favorism. I also had problems with bullying in middle school - I tried to tell my mum but she just shrugged it off and told me to have more self-confidence. But how does one do that? When I try to tell her my problems she kinda tries to compete with me like „Uhh my life is sooo much harder“ .

Not sure what state you are in, but this is actually against the law. It's a clause about peaceful enjoyment of your property, so even if it's not during quiet hours, excessive noise is illegal.

That being said, you have 2 things you can do:

1. Document (send an email) to your LL during every single time you hear the kid. If you hear them at 7am, 7:30am, 8am, 8:05am, 10am… EVERY time. Send a message to your LL or at least document it. This is crucial. After a certain amount of time, your LL is supposed to issue a warning. If they don't, you can show your LL the clause about excessive noise and the right to peacefully enjoy your home.

Another option, which might work better in your case, is once you can determine the kid is of age to be in school, report them to the cops. Frame it as, you have been hearing a lot of excessive noise from the apt since (insert start date) and you are getting concerned since the school year already started. You are worried for the child's safety.

If the kid is old enough to be in school, just keep calling the police when you hear them home during school hours. The cops will most likely scare them into keeping the kid under control.

Just the look in their eyes makes my skin crawl. None of them look sexy, or aroused. How does anyone get off to it?!

TL;DR I'm pleased that women's lib happened because sexual freedom, but holy shit am I disappointed at what it's ended up in.

You're aware that most of the
women doing this don't find it empowering and do it because it's pretty much the only thing they can get money from, right? It's more comfy than outright on the street prostitution. Only a minority of people truly do it by choice.
The cow do it because they are stupid and don't think about the consequences but the rest just don't care because it pays and they wouldn't get a job anyway.

As someone who used to do FSSW I absolutely refuse to believe that most of the women doing it are doing so because they can’t earn money any other way. More like they can’t be assed to try, as it’s easier to sit in their house masturbating - and less uncomfortable than FSSW, as you say.

Minute per minute it's more profitable than fast food work. Having worked at McDs, Wendys, and a few retail shops, I'd say it's less demeaning too.

No. 212053

>I'd say it's less demeaning too.
Ntayrt- I've thought about this a lot and I really don't think so.
On a decent day ie. The team does a good job and one gets no shitty customers, there's really nothing undignified about working retail or fast food. They're just doing a service for money in exchange like most humans on earth do.
In fact, many people respect service workers because they assume that it does take a great deal of patience and responsibility.
It only becomes demeaning when working class rube customers decide to use their little sliver of power over service workers to act shitty. Or if a power-tripping management decides to make things harder for the workers. Yet not every retail or fast food job deals with those problems on the daily. These jobs really only suck when the people you're dealing with suck.

I can't think of many dignified things about being a sex worker other than being your own "boss" (sometimes) and setting your own hours. Most cam hosting sites still take their cut of your money. Sex workers put up with a lot of disrespect and trolling. It's also stressful to keep up appearance and to look a certain way or risk losing their clientele, and even then they're nitpicked and objectified for it.

Idk, like another anon said, it seems like most people in sex work are doing it because they don't have a choice. And the ones who went into it willingly are just ignorant and don't think of consequences.

No. 212058

If you can get good at it you can earn a living where you're your own boss. But you have to know what you're doing because a lot more goes into it than just bouncing your tits on camera, and unfortunately those looking for a quick buck can put themselves in danger or even not get paid because they don't know which services to use.

Someone on my facebook made a post complaining about how guys are constantly trying to "be friends" with her and bothering her for dates. Or they are trying to friend request her she's rejected them.

But why doesn't that ever happen to me?

I don't really get it. I don't think she is that much more attractive than me. For one thing, she is pretty chubby. Is it because she doesn't wear glasses or she is white? Is it because I'm just a huge shut in or what?

Apparently girls my age are getting asked out all the time. Not me.

I don't think I'm ugly. It must be because I exude autism or something.

Not to say I would really date most of the guys here (because when I look at tinder, this area is full of Christian guys who are obsessed with hunting, fishing and sports), but it's made me feel pretty unattractive at times. I'm also pretty bored and lonely so it would be nice to have people trying to interact with me. Also I could use people like that for money lol.

Im trying to book something nice for my best friend, her bf and me to do as a joint Christmas gift but I can't think of anything. Was going to book a cat cafe but right before giving my card details I remembered shes allergic to cats kek. Its not that bad but it want her to have the full ~experience~ without getting a rash or whatever plus we can go anytime. I want to do something unique and special, that's like a one-time thing (the cafe is always there plus we talked about going before so it won't be as much as a surprise) but its just so hard to find things that are 1)not crazy expensive and 2) not fully booked already. I thought about a play or dinner show but you have to pay those upfront; I can't afford that right now and everything is gonna be booked up by the time I can pay, which is why a nice meal was a good idea but I feel like we've been to most places in my city already. We've already been to most galleries and museums too plus they always have the same displays. Google only gives experiences for couples even though I said 3 people in the search…

Its really stressing me out a lot and I don't know why. I just want to do something fun and memorable, surely there must be something, I mean I live in a major city ffs but I frequent the same places so Im sure im missing something really cool

You kinda implied here that the lack thereof can't be because of your personality, but rather how you look. So what do you look like?

You think catcalling is a sign that a guy likes you? I just don't get much attention from guys. Personally I would take the level of attention my fb friend gets and maybe she would switch places with me if getting attention bothers her so much. That's all.

>You kinda implied here that the lack thereof can't be because of your personality, but rather how you look. So what do you look like?

I look pretty average.

>So what do you think your physical problems are? Assuming guys can fuck anyone and personality and behavior don't matter as much.

I think I look average. The thing that comes to mind is probably that I have a weird gait/body posture that makes me look autistic.

By "like" I meant "be into you." Enough for you to get hit on or noticed by guys in public. Guys have to 'like' how you look to generally be first interested in you.
You know your autism influences your self-awareness to the point that it affects how you present yourself. Yet you're putting down your friend for being fat as if it's her fault that she doesn't have autism and guys can look past her weight.

Catcallers don't target women who they find attractive. They target women who they think won't respond, or who they think they'll get a funny reaction out of or women wearing something that grabs attention (Like a buggy, so they say "Hey mamma! You've got a sexy baby!" or something equally as disturbing). Catcalling and other forms of abuse are never because a man is genuinely interested in you as a person, he just sees you as a good target for le funny joek.

Sometimes I'm envious of cows and homemakers whose bfs/husbands provide for them while they get to pursue their hobbies. Like Suzy and Yumi.
I'm not jealous of how they're demeaned and the kinds of men they're forced to be with in exchange, I just mean how nice it is to not have to work a job AND not be expected to perform domestic labor on top.

I feel so unappreciated for the work I do, and I have had no energy leftover to do things that interest me for the past two years. I get so bitter that I think "equal" relationships were a mistake, bc I'm still the only one who cooks, cleans, and keeps house. I just have a job now too. Men simply aren't being raised or taught how to do these things despite how 'progressive' society is. Once they're grown it's impossible to instill these habits, as in my bf's case. If I want something done I have to ask or nag, like a mom to a teen. Often I don't bother bc bf half asses the jobs and I often redo them. I've tried teaching him but nothing sticks. I don't recall the last time a dinner was made just for me.
I go to work at a job I hate, and then come home to even more work. If I don't work enough to pay the bills, bf gets indignant. I'm depressed and anxious.

I've often thought of moving back with my parents so I won't be dogged about finances and be around my mom who is also spotless–my mom is a narc so this is saying something about my desperation here.
Or moving to a rural area by myself so rent can be cheap and I won't have to clean as much bc I won't be picking up after someone else constantly.

I feel like I'm approaching a breaking point. For now I'm staying in the situation for an unrelated reason, but come next summer I may be out for good if I don't suicide first.

you sound like me anon. my boyfriend never picks shit up after himself then he gets pissed at me because I'm not cleaning, but he doesn't realize I clean up after myself THEN AND THERE because I don't want a huge fucking mess. Whenever I cook, I used to make enough for the two of us. When he does, he runs to the store and gets something for himself rather than the both of us and get's upset when I ask for some of it. Because of this, I stopped cleaning up after him (thus, him getting pissed when he has to do it) and I cook for myself. If he's not going to treat me like we're not just roommates, then I'm not going to either.
I'm also moving back in with my dad soon because of this too. I am halfway packed but with work and a broken down car it takes a miracle to be able to find a day to move shit. But even with half of it packed up and moved, I am already super relieved. I think that if you're still having these issues by summertime, you should do the same.

it was one time and it was my first job, I'm 18, ever since I was 16 I've been looking for places like fast food and local stores, the thing is most places here don't hire unless you're 21 and have had 10 yrs of experience somehow just for a damn cashier job, the only reason why I got it is because I BSed about using a cash register before, it was stressful for me because it's not something I usually do, and my family is poor hence the entire reason I need a job so badly is to help support my family, I tried really hard not to but it just kept coming out, I told them I was fine and it wouldn't happen again but they said not to talk to them "for the next 6 months", I was also going through a lot with other personal stuff that week

ntayrt i've cried at almost every job i've had tbh. only once i was sent home but it was because they were worried about my mental health and wanted me to call it a day lol - your boss must've just been heartless, or maybe was it another reason you got fired?
Practice interviewing, get someone to review your resume, and dress as nice as you can. i understand if you don't have much money but presentation really does matter. Ask to speak to the manager directly, tell them a bit about yourself while you're handing in your resume and call places back that were actively hiring to see if they had a chance to review your resume. Be as smiley and pleasant as possible, try not to be nervous or discouraged - just fake confidence. Tell the people you're really interested in their business, or something, just bullshit your way into it basically.
If all else fails try factory work, theyre usually almost always hiring (through temp agencies sometimes so look into that too) and it's a quick way to make good money. It sucks, but it's a start

>I feel so unappreciated for the work I do, and I have had no energy leftover to do things that interest me for the past two years. I get so bitter that I think "equal" relationships were a mistake, bc I'm still the only one who cooks, cleans, and keeps house.
Then don't, people still need to eat and he'll figure it out. Honestly I have the impression most people are entering adult hood with a disturbing lack of life skills. I've seen far too many people almost seem to brag about how they're incompetent at basic tasks.

The fact is I hate cleaning e.g. vacuuming so I tend to take care of the meals and dishes for instance instead. Try figuring out a division of labor that works for you specifically, or move on if that's not a possibility.

Unemployment is a complicated situation with a lot of variables. I'm really sorry that you got upset at work like that. I've been on the verge of breakdown at my jobs too yet I've had some very understanding managers who would've never hurt or terminated me for it.

It's a matter of time. All I can say is that I hope you keep pushing forward and you start getting callbacks soon. Nobody should have to go hungry and live out of a car.

There’s a girl in my social circle. She’s better than me in every way.

She’s been there for longer than me. She’s incredibly thin, incredibly attractive, good dresser, very popular on social media, and everyone loves her; or wants to. She’s tall, tan, blonde and from a good enough family to be stable, but difficult enough to be interesting. She does well in life but is still vulnerable. And everyone loves her.

She dislikes me because she believes I started a rumor about her last year. I am more of a social pariah than I ever was because she controls how everyone views each other.

And me? I’m short, pale, ugly, nerdy, and my life is a mess. I try very hard but don’t often succeed. My obscure and intellectual interests make me come off as pretentious, not likeable. I’m awkward in an awful way, not in a quirky-cute way. I used to think I knew what I was about. But now I’m stuck. I don’t know if I should try to be more like her or try to be more like something else. I usually just end up being myself, someone who no one really likes.

I hate myself for not being her. I’m a loser. She’s so popular and so loved, and I’m a stupid nobody that tries in too many things and doesn’t really excel in any of them.

I’m spiraling into my eating disorder again because I want to be thin like her. But even that won’t make me any better.

How do you live without jealousy? How do you accept you’re a shitty nobody? How do you accept that people think you’re a bad person because of a lie that continues to make its rounds despite being untrue?

I’m so pathetic.

Anon, I really feel you, about all of this. I felt the same way a few years ago. I had a friend who was really good at everything I wanted to be, like drawing comics, having stories to tell that I thought were amazing, a family that had rich culture and was close knit, like I never had, and she was thin and pretty and got good grades. Everything.
But you'll get to a point where you realize that there really is no difference between you and her, and that you could have everything she has if you try hard enough to do it (minus the family structure of course). You can dress well if you learn what to wear. You can get a social media presence if you learn what to post and when to post it. You can get people to really love you, as long as you're open with them and love them back.
Even if you can't be 'tall' and naturally blond/tan, that doesn't mean anything about who you are as a person. Having arbitrary things like skin color or hair color doesn't say shit about who you are, just that you are lucky. Nothing more.
Being nerdy or having weird interests doesn't mean anything if you find people that are like you and share your interests, and being awkward is understandable as long as you're honest with others and tell them it's because of anxiety or depression (which I assume you have from this post). You don't need to change yourself, you need to invest in becoming a person that you think is like her, that you think is valuable, that you think other people will love/want to be around.
The only person who is standing in your way, who is calling you a nobody, is yourself. The only person who is comparing yourself to others is yourself (and petty bitches that you shouldn't even be friends with). The people who are calling you a rumor-spreader are liars who don't deserve your time of day if they don't trust you enough to listen to you. Invest your time in people who can trust you more than people you hope to be around just because they're popular.
You're only pathetic if you keep telling yourself that and give up trying to be better. Don't do it, anon, love yourself and put in the effort to be what she is, even if it's in small little ways.

youre having probably a genetically insuline resistance, meaning you gain weight easily on a carbohydrate diet.
try eating more proteine and fats. cut out carbohydrates after 2 pm entirely until breakfast of the next day.
if you dont want to go keto, your breakfast can be high in carbohydrates, your lunch should be moderate in carbohydrates and as I said after lunch (no later than 1pm) no more carbohydrates for the day. stop dringing soda, even if it is sugarfree diet version.
try not to eat industrialized sugar (white sugar) or convenience food as they often add sugar of some sorts to that. try cooking your meals from scratch. Eat plenty of vegetables. Add some nuts to your died.

as you start to cut out sugar and carbohydrates for the evening you will notice that you have way less urge to stuff your face with garbage, because your blood sugar will improve.
If you have a sweet tooth there is plenty of sugar replacement available in the web as stevia, erythritol and or xylitol.

What other conclusion can be drawn?

No. 212565

My parents were alcoholics. They wanted to keep it secret, even if the whole family knew it, so I couldn't tell anyone. That got me raised thinking that something in my life was not right, that I was not enough for anything or anyone (I lived this situation since I was 7 to 19). When I was 14 years old, my parents divorced (and not in a friendly way), which led to all my friends / classmates knowing exactly what was happening in my house. I was alone, I don't mean that they did not speak to me in the same way, I mean they never spoke to me again. I was completely and absolutely alone, only with my mother, who died five years later.

Now, in my twenties, I find myself with another group of friends and in a relationship of more than two years.
With my friends, I need constant approval. It is not that they take advantage of me, but that I feel ALL the time the need to know that they are fine with me (that they are not angry with me, etc.), which makes them burdened because I am too attached. Even with people who have treated me worse than shit, I prefer to keep the good things they have, although I know they would not do it for me, because I am afraid of being left alone again.

And my relationship … Well, it's abusive and I'm aware of it. I've never loved anyone like I've loved my boyfriend, never. And it destroys me. He has never hit me, but his psychological abuse is almost a daily thing. When we are well, I am sure he is the love of my life: he treats me better than anyone has ever treated me, he gives me balance and security and I really imagine a life with him.
But when we argue … Ugh, it's the worst in the world. I have never suffered like this. Not even my parents or any family member has insulted me or shouted at me like he does. I know that I have a lot of problems and that I am not perfect, but sometimes I feel that I will never be enough for him. Even if it was, even if I kept changing for him (as I have done, unfortunately), I feel that there is always going to be something that is going to screw everything up.

The worst of this situation is that even knowing everything I know, even knowing that I deserve something better, even knowing that surely there is someone who would love me and adore me for who I am, without conditions or the need to change, I can not stop loving him and believe everything he has told me, in a certain way.
My head tells me that he may be right, that I am useless, that I am the worst thing that has ever happened to anyone and that no one would have me to be in their lives. After all, he knows all my problems and so on and I don't want or feel ready to start the process of knowing someone again.
And I hate myself for it. I hate myself for not knowing how to value myself enough, for having endured the first shouts, for not seeing all the signs and still having fallen in love with him, I hate myself because if my life really had value for me it would not depend on him, nor on my friends, or anyone who crosses my path.
I have lived so convinced since I was little that everything I do can be wrong and make everything so bad, that now I can't live without fear. I can't stand the idea of losing the people I love, I actually have panic attacks every time I think about it. Even when I went to therapy for these things, the advice is the same as I could find on the internet, I have to value myself, I have to know how to accept myself.

The truth is that without the people around me, I would not have anything left. I would have to start from zero again. And I know what that means, I know how it hurts, I know how lonely I felt and how I thought I would never, ever, want to go over it again.
I can not stop thinking that perhaps I am better with my mother, that in a few years nobody would remember me either, that I will simply be another memory. I hate that my head tells me that death seems a better solution than a life full of panic and fear, it is exhausting.

Some of the recent posts here: please leave your boyfriends/completely cut out the toxic guys in your lives. Please. It’s painful reading about hard-working adult women who are being pissed on by angry pathetic manbabies, to the point where they’re romanticising being a kept woman. You’re better than this jfc.

I also agree with the comments regarding trans people, MtF in particular. I have lost any sympathy I had for the trans community as a whole, as well as anyone who leaps to its defence in the face of “well actually I was forced into being a woman, they chose this oppreshun??” Like fuck off SJW Sally, I don’t want to share this with someone who actively reduces my life experience to eyebrows and boobs.

Honestly I feel like these people are staying because of such low expectations, but at the same time I also believe that low expectations are a self fulfilling prophecy. If you accept shitty behavior when a person is actually decent you assume it is an act, and you begin to tolerate behavior you really shouldn't.

Like no wonder some of these girls have a bit of a man hating chip on their shoulder when they stay with a cheater, a lot of guys have the same problem but in both cases they just need to learn to move the fuck on and actually learn to respect themselves.

This is really dumb but I have never told anyone about this and it really bothers me.

I have always been overweight. I was a chubby kid and now I am an overweight adult (I'm 23 years old if it matters). Around a year ago I started losing weight in the healthy way (for the first time of my life). I started going to the gym and eating healthy food, and now after everything I've finally lost around 8kg and am soon in the 'normal weight' category (I'm 170cm and now weigh around 75kg).

I always thought becoming skinnier would make me happier since it's something I've always wanted. I've absolutely loathed my body ever since I can remember, but even though I kinda know I've done a lot of good work to lose 8kg, I still am not happy with my body. Whenever I look into the mirror I still see myself as a fat person.

It's come to the point my body is all I can think about. I am especially obsessed with my stomach and how big it is. I am constantly stressing over whether I've gained weight or not and spend a lot of time just staring at myself in the mirror, looking at my body (and still, especially my stomach) and thinking about how fat and ugly I am. I don't own a scale or measuring tape, so I can only stare at myself in the mirror.

I don't think a scale and a measuring tape would improve your hangup, because then you'd just be focusing your negative thinking on numbers.
This sounds like a mental image problem that you should probably be discussing with a therapist, anon. If you hate yourself, then you'll hate no matter how skinny you go.

Please don’t feel alone in this anon. So many people have crappy dysfunctional families and awful parents, it’s just awful luck for you that your mum chose to air this in public. Make it a priority to get away from her, you don’t need that in your life. Glad I could be of small comfort.

No solutions to offer but I feel the same. I lost 7 kg so far from eating healthy (and I hate to admit it but skipping dinner when I had too much at lunch) and walking everyday.

I notice the difference when I'm clothed but naked I just see the same old bloted stomach so I'm wondering if I was literally blind to it 7kg heavier ?
I've never been an anachan but I feel like I've started picking up dumb tricks like eating unfuriatingly slow when my grandmas force me to eat sugary stuff like homemade pies and cakes.
Everyday I think about walking and I start to be a bit pissed when I can't sometimes.

My gf says I look really good now that I'm at a lower weight than when we met but I can't see what she sees. I still have 10 kg to go so anyway kudos to you for losing those 8kg, I know how slow and hellish this can be !
I've done a lot of things in my life and losing weight/getting over that sugary addiction is one of the hardest, it's really no joke.

I stopped taking birth control this year and proceeded to gain 5kg. I feel like trash, my stomach is just always bloated and I have clothes that are harder to wear (esp. skirts and pants). Still at a healthy BMI (20.5), but god I hate this so much.

No. 212737

I have a small chest and I want to kill myself because of it. Men hate it and they hate me because of my flat chest, I know because I've been told straight to my face that my flat chest is hideous and that I need to get a boob job. Not just by one guy, but several. From complete strangers to partners. I grew bigger boobs for like a month before they dissappeared again, and it was, no lie, the happiest month of my life. I will never afford a boob job, and even if I get one, men will probably still be repused by me, bc I'm faking it.

>>212671
It just makes me feel relieved to know I'm not the only one in this situation. I've also skipped dinner a few times, but everything I've done has really been an improvement to my previous diets (not eating at all or eating everything).

I feel the exact same way you do!! Some of my clothes do feel loose now, and I know there is a difference in my body especially when I'm wearing my training clothes. But naked I'm just as bloated and fat as I was before.

It's been really hard and I guess I should just be happy that I've come this far, I just hate not seeing the results in myself.
You've done a great job as well, and I'm sure you'll get those 10kg off as well!

We spoke about it every time we talked about our concert plans for this year and last time we talked about it was two weeks ago?

I mentioned quite a lot and we wrote about it and such and that's why I was so surprised about her question.

Since my post here I messaged her again and she said "I thought you wanted to sell those tickets?" and I'm still like ??? why? I never wanted to sell those because it's an american band that rarely comes to europe and I just need to see them because I love them so much.

Idk I really hope I will find somebody to go there because it's quite a bit far away from me and going home late at night isn't that much fun here since I had very bad experiences going by train at night when alone as a girl :(

my little sister came home from university for a bit this week and it was great, because she's fun and like my best friend.
i've spent months trying to fix up her room in the family home because it was really gross - she got depressed after she broke up with her boyfriend this summer and it turned into an episode of hoarders. i had it freshly painted and cleaned with a new bed and stuff for her ready for her.
she came back and seemed happy with it and settled in, then came and begged for some money because she's irresponsible with her student loans. i said no initially because she has a bit of a drinking problem and last time i lent her money she immediately got trollied and i never saw the cash again.
but then she said she was going to get her phone cut off and stuff so i lent her £50 to sort herself out and get some food in for when she went back home.

later that same day she goes out and buys fifty quid's worth of liquor and lambrini and gets monumentally wankered alone in her room. pisses and vomits all over her new bed.

she left for uni yesterday and i checked to see how she'd left the room and i found
>half a mcdonald's cup of rancid strawberry milkshake topped with a massive hairball she'd collected
>two empty lambrini bottles and a tipped over bottle of white lightning stinking up the room
>a massive mysterious grease stain on the new paintwork i spent ages doing
>vomit and piss stains just left on the bed and carpet

feel so angry and upset that she's like this. i know it's stupid but i just try to look after her and make sure she's safe and happy and she pisses it away because she doesn't realise the lengths people go to for her. our dad died and our mum is living in los angeles right now so i feel responsible for her but i don't know how to keep this up

That sucks what happened and how she trashed the new room you got for her. You're a good person, you got a big heart and I hope your sister realizes that she is lucky to have you. Take comfort in the fact that college students are generally irresponsible and still growing and learning, they're almost adults but not quite adults yet. I was a spoiled bratty jackass in my college years too and I'm not proud of it. Hopefully she grows up soon.

You should also confront her and tell her about what you have done for her, and see what she says.

Also, maybe don't put all your efforts into helping her again or spending money on her, after how she's treated you.

She sounds like a high-functioning alcoholic.
Replace alcohol with heroin and her behavior is no different than an addict's.
She lied to you about her bills so you'd be guilted to give money.
Instead of using the money to spend towards living essentials like food, she spent it on her drug of choice.
She used the room you worked hard on as a place to get drunk (high) and use as a comedown (crash).

This has addiction written all over it. Someone should help her before it becomes a major problem. Like getting DUIs and evictions.

My grandma is a fucking attention seeking narcissist and I can't say anything because she's fucking old. Right now she's faking a back pain and making these wounded animal noises so we pay attention to her. I know this sounds bad, but I swear she's faking it. She does it all the time and then when my mom comes to check on her or we call 911 because she says shes dying, the minute they get here and everyone's paying attention to her she suddenly feels magically better and is not dying anymore. Every time they examine her and do tests everything says she's completely healthy. When my mom was on the phone with someone my grandma doesn't like, she started yelling and crying that her legs are numb and shit. My mom hung up and immediately went to sit with her and massage her legs she was fine. Every time I hear her I feel like puncturing my own eardrums.

>>212766
thanks anon. yeah, i understand what she is, it's just hard to say outright. that's how our dad died actually, his liver gave out at 47. so it's kind of traumatic to see it happen again - i've hosted family "interventions" with our grandparents and uncle, and done reading up on it and i know she's sick, but it's so hard not to take this personally. you see glimpses of the cute fun kid she is beneath it so it's hard to separate her addict behaviour from who she is, do you know what i mean?

i've urged her to see a doctor - she was taken into hospital with alcohol poisoning aged only 19 during her first year of uni and it stopped my heart when i heard. then she broke her wrist in six places falling over drunk. even then, doctors won't help me with her because i'm just her sister, and she won't go under her own steam. when i try to push her she just runs away back to university - she's a student in wales while we're based in england so often we don't know what's going on.

due to the nature of this cow who has had it out for me ever since I tried to grow apart as friends from her, I feel like my relationship is in jeopardy. She has gone out of her way on many occasions to make my life miserable - even crossing into illegal actions territory - so sabotaging my healthy relationship isn't below her. I've cut her out of my life as much as I can but my close friends believe that she's not a bad person due to her reaching out and apologising to them (she has no friends anymore so she has to substitute). Said friends are now dating my boyfriend's friends and I feel like I can't escape this shit, and that the end of my relationship is inevitable.

We've hosted a few friends since moving to a different country, but usually for 2-6 days and most of them would use as a hub and would travel to other cities/countries. We have a friend coming next month who will be staying nearly 15 days–that's during Christmas and New Years–who doesn't want to travel anywhere else unless we are accompanying her.

I like this girl, obviously, but I feel like I'm going to get a little sick of her after two straight weeks without any breathers. I've tried to gently push her into going on a day trip alone or going somewhere for a couple of days without us (she wants to go to some major cities that are 7+ hours away, and I have no interest in doing that) so she can get the most out of her trip but she's "too afraid" to travel alone.

It's absolutely my fault for just making an assumption, but I'm kind of annoyed that she's tethering herself to us the whole time she's going to be here. I'm happy to host her and I'm genuinely excited to have someone over for Christmas, but our flat is REALLY small and not having time to myself makes me extremely antsy and irritable. So. Not looking forward to my Christmas break.

I feel like a piece of shit for being hurt and upset by this. My best friend had surgery a while back, and has to go to the hospital twice a week. She's needed this surgery for a few years now and I'm extremely happy for her that she finally had it. For about a year now, she would not seem to even try and respond to messages I send. This wasn't the case before, we would try and talk every week. Every message or call she would send to me about anything, I made sure to respond. I talk to her around her schedule since I know that her health is very important and multiple hospital visits is draining and awful. But I feel like she is slowly losing interest in me. Its not like we don't anything in common anymore, we talk for hours at a time. And its fine if she wants to gain more independence now without having to worry about her health, I honestly hope she does. But it seems she doesn't even attempt an effort to even respond or try and talk to me anymore. Not even to just humor me with a "lol", nothing. Anytime she would be interesting in something, she would talk about it for hours with me, even if I didn't understand anything, but I would listen and try and be involved. Has never done the same for me, and only sits in awkward silence and it makes me feel stupid for even talking. She done this before though, and won't talk to me for nearly two months and then suddenly comes back. When I ask her if she's been alright, she nonchalantly just say she's been hanging around. I know recently that her treatments have lessened and she has a lot more free time now (told me herself). Its been almost a month now since we've talked though. I feel such a selfish disgusting person for letting my own petty loneliness dictate my feelings, even though she has more important shit to worry about. But im virtually friendless myself and I don't think I could ever find another friend like her, online or real life.

I've had a pretty intense depressive episode going on for about a month, and it all turned into one big emotional breakdown while at my parents house last night. They were very supportive and suggested that I should try and set up an appointment to see my therapist; the problem is that I haven't spoken to her in a year. I one day felt like I didn't need to go and just stopped taking my meds and never went back. I still have her email but I'm scared she'll be upset with me or not take me back as a patient. I don't even know what to tell her at all, it just feels like too much at this point.

This is everywhere and heavy.

I need to break up with my boyfriend so bad, but I really don't feel like I'll find someone else. I know that's normal but it's rare for me to find someone I get along with so well and I have extremely low self-esteem. I've only liked about 5 guys my whole life. With where I'm living right now, I know I won't find anyone else like him but he treats me like such shit. He goes days without talking to me and blows me off all the time while I would do anything for him and I'm having trouble accepting that he really doesn't care. He ditched me on Thanksgiving. I think there's another girl. Or he just really cares that little. Neither is good. And I've been in a depressive state just dangling on to the end of our relationship letting him barely talk to me (let alone see me) but I just can't break up with him.
My depression is horrible right now so I just lay in bed all day and have nothing to occupy my time. I gave up on therapy after seeing my (actually really good) therapist 3x a week for a year. I swear therapy just doesn't work for me. I've seen at least 30 different therapists/counselors. I can't identify my thoughts or emotions. I can't do anything remotely painful and take the easy way out, whatever that may be. I gave up on my multiple psychiatrists too. I'm bipolar II and depressed (not as bad as it used to be but still pretty bad).
I've tried almost every medication except a couple, one benzo in particular leaving me with a nasty addiction. On top of the one to heroin I already had at the time. I have about a year off heroin but still struggle with the Xanax. I just can't put it down and I can't get enough. I've taken a whole bottle of bars in 2 days before. But now I have to ration them out because I'm sick if I don't take them daily. I can't go to rehab to get off of them because they don't do a slow taper which I've found is the only thing that works for me. But I always feel like shit anyway unless I take a handful, that's the only time I feel okay.
I can't get a job because I have very visible track marks. I'm hopefully getting surgery on them but in the meantime I'm screwed. I try putting makeup on them but it doesn't really cover it. I just want to put heroin behind me.
I know people probably think I'm just making excuses for myself and being lazy but the easiest and most comfortable thing for me to do right now is just lay in the dark alone hoping for a text from him, so that's what I'll continue to do. I hate my life. And to think my mental health is way better than it was a few months ago. Sorry this got pretty dark.

I just need to dump this to get this off my mind hopefully.

I had an incident yesterday. I was driving down a (normally very busy) expressway, in the very far left lane. A car with an old couple inside was coming out of a lot on the other side, and crossed about 4-5 lanes at once, trying to get into mine. The issue is they didn’t see me at all, if I hadn’t swerved into the median they would have hit me. I avoided the accident but still honked at them for that. And then they started following me. They followed me to a restaurant I was going to meet my boyfriend at. We pulled into the lot and they parked right next to me, got out, and started aggressively knocking on my window. I only lowered it a bit because I was extremely scared, I have anxiety issues. Then the old husband (about 60) began screaming at me, accusing me of almost hitting them. He kept yelling that I came out of nowhere and then demanded to see my license because he didn’t believe I had one. It became such a huge scene, random bystanders were asking if I needed help, and if I wanted them to call the police for me. My boyfriend saw him pull up beside me, and he came over and diffused the situation. I was so shaken from this I could barely eat and mostly just sobbed in the restaurant. Oh and the old couple followed us into there too.

I’ve made a report to the police about it, the operator was very kind and understanding. I just still can’t believe people like this exist. They went so far as to follow me and harass me after almost hitting me. I realize that it’s over and done with now, but it’s very hard for me to cope with stuff like this. Just needed to get this out.

Thank you anon ;___; this response means a lot, I appreciate it.

It took me so long to get the courage to drive, like I said I have a lot of anxiety issues and I thought I finally conquered driving but now I feel so crushed. I have a long commute to work, and basically had a panic attack the entire time. I know I’m probably overreacting, everyone I know is telling me to just let it go. Hoping I can get over this soon.

it's scary to happen, and spooks you that people would follow you. one agro driver was a male with his wife and the wife was filming me on her mobile too, and they were the ones driving like lunatics. very bizarre.

just always drive safe and watch out for yourself on the road and be aware of how others are driving. i hope you feel better driving soon, sometimes if people are tailgating me i flick my rear view mirror up so i dont have them in my eye site and just rely on my wing mirrors til they get the hint. the amount of weirdos on the road is alarming, but i've found that mirror trick is effective as you're basically saying 'look i don't want to interact or look at you' but always be safe!

I'm feeling like I really want to break up with this guy I've been seeing. He's too fucking emotional, and I'm seeing him being prone to extreme anger over dumb shit (i.e. video games and his job)

He's constantly, literally just grinning at me. When I say something like, "What's up?" He just says "I like looking at you" and dumb cutesy bullshit.
Guy has no personality. I have to start any conversations we have or else I'd be better off staring at my wall, guy gives me nothing to work with and only seems to have a cringy sense of observational humor.
I feel like if it break it off with him he'd start crying and sobbing in front of me.. Then go into his car and start punching the interior loud enough for me to hear.
He's younger than me and I should have known how risky that would be in the first place. Guy's way to immature for me. The fuck do I do here? I feel bad rejecting him but I can't keep this going any longer.

Oh man this is my first time here okay um, I have some things I wanna get off my chest. Here goes.

I always feel like I'm not good in the art field I'm pursuing. I know that practice and working hard really help with confidence and getting better but…it's really difficult for me? It's not that I'm lazy or anything, I will use every second I have to draw whenever I'm not working on homework or going to school, it's just that I'm always bombarded with people who tell me that I will never be good enough in this field – no matter how much I practice. There's so much pressure on me to be great, none of my family members want me to pursue art for various reasons:
I am the first born.
I am the first to go to college.
I am the first one that didn't have a child before 20.
I am the only person in my entire family that is pursuing art as a career.
I'm so very sure they expected me to become a brilliant doctor, a lawyer, a translator, a CEO – but I chose art instead.

It's difficult when you don't have family members that understand that a digital artist relies on their devices for work. It's difficult when they don't understand what it means to do commissions and they just feel it's free money and not work at all. It's difficult when you're trying to practice your craft and all you hear is "you're not doing anything important come help me with this mundane thing".
I look at people who have support from their family and I'm envious. I look at people who are gifted tablets, cintiqs, sketchbooks, mechanical pencils and art pens with envy.
I wish I could do commissions but I just don't feel like I'll ever be at that level. I was told "You really think your art is that special? Do you think it's better than anyone else's? Dream on. There are tons of people better than you" in various ways so many times and it's pushed my self esteem in my art so low that some days I don't even post what I've drawn. Or I just wont draw for months.
I was given multiple opportunities in college to show my sketchbook to professional artists in the industry I want to get into, but every time I chickened out because I heard those words "you're not good enough" revolving around in my head.
I practice, yes. I study, yes. But finding the motivation to pick up a pencil or tablet pen is getting more difficult to do.

I just wish I had a more supportive family that doesn't make snide comments about me wanting to go into the art field.

What can I do to keep motivated? Am I being a baby? Gosh I don't even know anymore. Forgive me for this vent.

I've had a similar issue with one of my exes. They just got so overbearing – even going so far as to plan our wedding and send me an engagement ring.

I really think you should talk this out with him and if you can't come to a truce – just break up with him. It might hurt for a little while but he'll get over it eventually.

Reject him. Reason it out. Is there an alternative here? There is no future for the relationship, you don't like the guy. There's no sin in that.

I remember one time my father and I were driving in a separate vehicle than my mother on the way home, ours was his gargantuan truck he uses for his construction business while my mother was driving in a small car. Some dipshit decided to try to play chicken with my mother and nearly ran her off the road a few times, naturally my father was incensed by this and used his much larger vehicle as a barrier between the dipshit and my mother. Then the dipshit tried to start screaming at him once we reached a red light, as if she was the victim in this situation. I will never understand these peoples thought process.

Most people don't know what it feels like to be passionate about anything but TV shows and video games. Your family won't understand you so just ignore them.

You have to post art every day though. Even if it's bad. Because what you produce daily is your real level, and your polished, over-rendered "complete" works are just a lie rooted in your ego.

Accept your true skill level and most of your anxieties will disappear. This is usually where you abandon your old profile and old followers so that their presence doesn't put that stress and pressure on you again.

Don't delete your old work though, those fans still loved your fake self, so at least respect them enough to let them have access to the work they followed you for. Even if the relationship was based on a lie, this is just a good, amicable break-up with your old fanbase.

Make a new account and start fresh. Be honest and post every single day.

Feminism is the reason the economy is bad.

Women almost doubled the workforce, thus lowering wages. Allowing women to vote allowed third-world immigration, multiplying the labor supply, which lowers wages and working conditions. Single mothers raise criminals at an alarming rate, this is a drain on tax money because we have to pay for their housing and food in jail, extra police enforcement, time in court, medical bills, property they stole, welfare programs, etc.

Pretty much everything bad in society can partially be blamed on feminism. General moral decay, the economy, suicide rates, crime, everything.

my family asked me to come celebrate my 21th birthday for the weekend even though i had a very busy and important exam week(i live in my own apartment close to my university but an hour away from my parents).so i went,and i told my flatmate to focus on studying and dont plan a birthday party for me(we always plan for each other between our close friend group).
So i went to my parents,on saturday my father bought a cake,gave it to me and said "give this to our next door neighbour,say happy late b-days!" i didn't get what the hell it was and our neighbour wasn't at home anyways,so we kinda awkwardly put the cake in the fridge and didn't eat it.on sunday i studied all day long and waited a suprise but at the end of the day my father came and said lets go i'll drop you home.neither my mom or dad celebrate my birthday,they didn't even mention it.
on monday(actual birthday date) the only person celebrated my birthday was my bf,and 3 people on facebook.that's all.not even my flatmate said anything,not even anybody in our frind circle wished my happy birthday.or my brother.dad later that night send a message celebrating my birthday.it's been days over this stuff (and exams are over too)but honestly i have been feeling so damn sad ever since then.my birthday was one of the most important days in my life and i cant believe my friends which i all helped to make a birthday party even made handcrafted presents,my own fucking family,literally noone remembered or care to say happy b-day.i feel so mad and broken at the same time.

That's not what it's made for.

If you're going to draw anime or jrpg characters at all, 99.9% of subjects will technically be lolis. That seems like a nitpick, but the difference between a character like Yoko Littener and Konata Izumi (who is actually of age) is just a difference in proportions or the style.

It's very hard to get worked up over the morality of loli/shota art when just using Ctrl-T to adjust the eye size can take 5 years off a character for example.

The line between loli art and regular art is pretty arbitrary and unique to every individual too. I can get ripped for drawing which makes me more apathetic to the distinction. When I can get ripped for drawing Illya from F/SN but some RWBY porn gets a pass, it makes the whole anti-loli thing seem silly

maybe because people have traumatic experiences with child molestation and find the things that encourage it repulsive? what false statements are we making exactly? that people who fap to cartoon children naked are pedophiles because they are?
whats next, if men fap to male anime characters then claim to be straight it makes sense right because its a cartoon? how dumb do you think we are?

>>213176

>Going a step beyond and threatening artists with death because you don't like a jpg


nope, if that "jpg" is of a naked little girl who was literally made for grown men to fap to, you deserve death threats, me and millions of other people would take some crazy psychopath who wants pedos to die over a pedophile in denial anyday


>Ditto for wanting to kill everyone who enjoys that kind of art.


and that "kind art" are photos of naked children in sexual situations, just like how tons of pedophiles in hollywood photograph naked children and slap the label art on it to make it legal, it's still naked children clearly made for the purpose of sexual reasons


>>213177
again, are "straight" men who fap to naked anime men still straight? no? but according to you I can fantasize about sucking big anime titties and eating anime pussy and claim to be straight but its okay since its a cartoon correct? it doesn't matter if it's art or whatever, it's still made for the purpose of pleasing pedophiles no matter how much you claim anyone who thinks men fapping to naked cartoon little girls is a liar and spreading "false moral element"

My boyfriend's coming home in a few weeks.

The thought of being intimate with him again in any way repulses me, and the thought of being intimate with any other man repulses me as well. I get emotional when I see pictures of women kissing one another, and my thought process is generally along the lines of "god I wish that were me."

fictional men can be atttractive when real men aren't bc that's it, they aren't real. they are written in a compelling way, we see them from all sides early on and no real life person will ever be like that.

i suggest you look into the phenomenon of compulsory heterosexuality bc it sounds like what you are going through. or if that's not it, maybe your relationship isn't that healthy and that's what's putting you off men. either way hang in there anon, i went through a similar thing albeit in my late teen years, it can be confusing as hell. no matter what side you end up on, it will all work out!

No. 213187

Considering that you still find fictional men/celebrities attractive, and the fact that such things are removed from your reality and idealized, you are likely looking at relationships and intimacy between women and idealizing them in a similar way, perhaps imagining they wouldn't struggle with the same things a heterosexual couple would, maybe things that you are currently struggling with in your own relationship.

thats as dumb as saying "oh I only like big tits in anime I hate them in real life"

It's fucking retarded, you draw something you're sexually attracted as an ideal of attraction, just like how ancient artists would draw women they're sexually attracted to, most of the time if people are attracted to something in drawings, 99.9999999999999999% of the time it is what they're attracted to in real life so why does it apply to everyone except it magically doesn't apply to lolicons?

well no shit, it's an interesting plot, there's a difference between being interested in something vs finding little girls sexually attractive

>e. I draw rape all the time, I'm literally drawing it right now,


so then you have rape fantasies, and you are into the idea of acting out rape with a consenting partner, assuming you're drawing it because that's what you're into and not to cater to rapists


with rape fantasies, people can find a consenting partner to act it out with, thats fine, they're adults, however, lolicon centers around the idea of fantasizing about fucking little girls, which children can't consent and of course is disgusting traumatic, and everything else, people who have rape fantasies are into the idea of raping someone whether it be a consensual roleplay and some people into rape fantasies are into actual rape, it's the sad truth

now that we got that covered, no none-pedophilic people go around and saying "hey I wonder what it's like to fuck a little girl" no? whether it's fantasy or not it's pedophilia, because small children 100% cannot consent and any sexual act will 99% of the time damage them later in life

the way "animals" are depicted in drawings are very human like though so it would be easy to believe that furries just wanna fuck people in sexy furry costumes rather than actual animals, however, lolis, when they're depicted, they're depicted as actual children, naked children in sexual situations and people are getting turned on by that, and if you don't think thats pedophilia then its YOU that needs help, not me

people develop cartoon crushes for a reason, and 100% of the time, those cartoon crushes will mimic what that person likes in real life
example, girl grows up having a crush on danny phantom, it is most likely she is attracted to guys like what danny phantom has (skinny,dark hair, blue eyes, etc)


if someone is SEXUALLY ATTRACTED TO A CARTOON OF A CHILD then it not only translates what they like in real life, but shows they have no shame in being fucking creepy, sexualizing children, as well as just being okay with them being attracted to a child even if its a cartoon, and trying to write it off as not pedophilia

No, but you're drawing naked little girls, cartoon or not, people calling you a pedophile for fapping to naked little girls who are cartoon is completely different than calling a dot on a page loli, people are calling you a pedophile because you're sexually attracted to fucking little girls, which is the very definition of pedophilia

So answer me again, is everything alright if it is seen in a fantastical light? If someone fantasizes about a young person in that way, it's alright, isn't it? I mean, it's just fantasy right?

not just in japan, but there was even loli/ddlg/furry artist who was arrested for molesting his little sister, you think the fact he drew little girls being molested for "fantasy" reasons and him actually going on to molest his sister have absolutely nothing to do with each other?

even on 4chin. where this shit is popular, there are literal threads where guys brag about molesting a younger family member or whatever, you think it has NOTHING to do with each other that people who fap to drawings of little girls naked end up actually being attracted to fucking children? right

we are not talking about the countries, we are talking about japan

do you seriously believe the fact that CSA in japan is highest it's ever been ever since the sexualization of children and loli has been there, has NOTHING to do with each other? quit making excuses

No. 213295

>>213294
Without peer reviewed data, your conclusion is just an assumption. I'm sorry if you consider that to be an excuse.

The fact that you don't even want to consider other countries as a control statistics shows that you're not interested in finding out if loli actually causes CSA. You have your conclusion already and you just want it accepted.

That's not good enough to tell an artist they shouldn't draw something, sorry.

>>213295
I don't include other countries unless they have popularity of loli there, countries with high child molestation rates tend to have always had high molestation rates, where as japan hasn't, so exactly why has the CSA rate skyrocketed in japan if it totally has nothing to do with loli? it sounds like you're just denying obvious

No. 213299

>>213296
It doesn't matter what the base rate is, you're interested in comparing the change in rate. You have to use other countries to even see if Japan's CSA rose at statistically relevant greater rate. Then you need to do a study inside Japan and isolate loli. It's a lot of hard work, but that's the burden you take on by making the affirmative claim that

>It's already been shown that as the popularity of loli rises, so does the child molestation rate.

people can like rock music, video games and horror movies without being evil, a lot of the time people do it for entertainment purposes, people find horror movies interesting and decode killers, rock music isn't really that evil all the time just loud, with video games, again, it is for entertainment reasons


however, people draw naked little girls for SEXUAL reasons, are you gonna tell me that people just draw them because they find naked little girls interesting to look at?? No, it won't be just some silly little thing we all laugh at the crazy paranoid fucks daring to think people who fap to drawings of naked little girls, are pedophiles

No. 213306

>>213299
If those violent movies and video games were made for people to fap to, then you'd have a point, people like those things because they find the stories interesting and like the action of it, people like looking at drawings of naked little girls because they're pedophiles


also what exactly are you trying to prove? if you're trying to completely deny the fact people fantasize about fucking cartoon children, which makes them pedophiles, then you're wrong, sexual attraction is very different then just being interested in a horror film


tomb raider, for example, do you really think the hoards of people fapping over lara croft totally wouldn't be attracted to a woman that looked like her irl because it's just a fantasy? you're an idiot

also, if it is "just a fantasy"
out of all the things people can roleplay/fantasize about, in video games it includes action packed adventures of being in the mafia, going on high speed chases, becoming rich pimps, etc, out of anything, these people just "happen" to fantasize about fucking children in the anime world but it totally doesn't make them a pedophile? miss me with that bullshit

okay, but if the child molestation rate was low, the right wing populism rised like child molestation maybe you'd have a point, the thing is right wing and child molestation aren't related, one has to do with sexual attraction and sexual acts vs politics, with loli vs csa rate it's children being sexualized vs the child molestation rate rising, so yes, it does relate and yes lolicons are pedophiles

Okay, then you provide proof that people can be attracted to little girls in cartoons but magically not in real life, there is none, because scientists aren't going to go into in dept research over fucking neckbeard pedo porn, but that doesn't make it untrue


example, if a mall starts turning up the temperature colder, and thus more people start buying warm drinks, then it's safe to assume that cold temperatures make people want to eat or drink warm things, correct?

now apply this to loli, now the loli is rising, which are depictions of child porn and children in sexual acts, it will enable pedophile tendencies, and with that you've seen the CSA rate rise, it will be safe to assume that loli has a lot to do with the CSA rate rising, and then idiots like you who are pedos in denial come in screaming how you have no proof there it's 100% not true at all and lolicons aren't pedophiles etc

>Or maybe you just have an opinion on loli art and you think pretending to have evidence that ties it to real CSA will make your voice louder

yep, because everyone except for me is A-OK with little girls being drawn naked in sexual situations and sold to pedophiles, but it's okay because it's a drawing right? what's next, are child molestation novels that are made for pedos to read and fap to okay since its "just fantasy", right?

FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK, PLEASE ACTUALLY READ MY POST PROPERLY, I AM NOT CONDONING HARMING CHILDREN.

A lot of people seem to think this, and I hate to say but he might -kind- of be right? I personally like anime females but am not bi(I don't like loli) so I kind of get it? Also, that's literally what furry is. All furries aren't into bestiality, but they like a drawn, humanoid form of it.

Still, regardless of whether -some- people don't like real life children, people who do also like drawn shit, which is why it's a problem. All lolicons might not like real children, but all pedos like lolicon.

Like sure, accepting that someone likes loli but doesn't like real children is fine, but that doesn't change the fact that actual pedos use it and feel it's normalized/justified.

Now please don't everyone fucking jump off the handle at me, I'm just trying to say that like other fetishes, especially drawing related, there's always a possibility that it does not translate into real life, and we do need to acknowledge that. But we do not need to let people continue pursuing their fetish to create openings for real people to get hurt.

>They literally are though, do you live under a rock?

but the people who read them are still pedophiles, what pedo anon is saying that lolicons aren't pedophiles yet they literally are, whether these hypothetical novels actually exist or not, I don't know and I don't want to know, but this anon is saying that people who have pedophilic fantasies aren't pedophiles because its a fantasy, when it's the literal definition of pedophile

all pedophiles have pedophilic fantasies, thats what makes them pedophiles

anyway, I think it's disgusting and should be illegal because it feeds peoples pedophilic tendencies and/or makes their desire for children grow even stronger if it hadn't before, thus most likely, they are going to commit an act of pedophilia at a given chance

No. 213342

thats why its believable when a furry says they arent into beastiality, where as lolis are drawn as literal children, some are even toddlers

> All lolicons might not like real children, but all pedos like lolicon.


okay so let me put it this way, anyone who is sexually attracted to lolis, are pedophiles, most people who like lolis, are pedophiles


anyway, why would someone be attracted to naked anime children anyway? as the other anon said, these attractions don't appear out of thin air, people who "100% aren't pedophiles at all" don't go and look at naked anime children and think it's hot

>I'm just trying to say that like other fetishes, especially drawing related, there's always a possibility that it does not translate into real life, and we do need to acknowledge that


okay, so exactly, why is someone going to be sexually attracted to a drawing and 100% not into it in real life, there's furry conventions for a reason, because furrys, while they may not want to fuck animals, they want to fuck animal costume people or whatever, lolis are shown as literal children, and literal children exist as well as the growing CSA problem and a lot of lolicons are pedophiles, if not all

No. 213345

>>213338
Also, I'd like to ad, no one only has fantasies with the intent to just fap to it for the rest of their life, a lot of the "fantasy anime" are cosplayed and roleplayed for a reason, with furries, mermaid, witch animes, or whatever the fuck people are into, people can just simply wear a costume and get some props and act out the fantasy, lolicon is different because with lolicon… it's actual fucking children, it's not like someone can just cosplay as a loli unless they have some mia petite level condition, or unless they're an actual fucking child, so it would be child molestation, which is why loli is different from any other anime fetish

Loli-drawing anon, I'm not interested in taking part in the loli/cp debate.we could just go to /a/ for that
However please remember to keep checking on whether you feel it's worth for you to draw what you do. I used to draw lewd commissions too and originally stopped drawing flat characters because I didn't want to fall foul of obscenity laws or risk it ever becoming a problem in my real life. I probably wouldn't be convinced if a teacher was found to draw flat characters and said they weren't actually a pedophile, so by that logic it made sense to just avoid ever being in that position myself. Even of I felt that I wasn't ethically doing anytime wrong, it wasn't worth the risk. My frequent fans that used to compliment my work dropped me instantly. I later did the same for violent commissions. Now I'm not used to seeing that art anymore, I'm uncomfortable seeing it altogether and wouldn't want to draw that stuff anymore. I still feel like drawings are an ethical gray area, but it's not worth defending the pedophiles hiding in that gray.

Of course you have your own reasons for needing money and how you can actually make it, but it's worth thinking about.

No. 213347

That's what I meant, I like them sexually.

I feel like a lot of lolicon's attracting has more to do with anime and other weird issues than it does being attracted to literal kids. I also think that anime porn in general does really messed up things to people.

Also, I've stumbled upon loli-porn and while some of it is fucking gross 'dirty old man' shit, some of it is tame, just like standard anime porn, so it's probably hard to draw the line.

I'd be interested in hearing what you'd like to say about DDLG then as well tbh.

Okay, I'm convinced you're just arguing for the sake of it at this point because that is definitely not true at all. I am not going to share but some of the things I read and get off to are really messed up and I would NOT want to experience or make others experience them in real life.

what so are people going to go and be sexually attracted to drawings of kids just because they like anime or whatever? wanting to fuck female anime characters, like legit getting hard or wet over the idea of having intercourse with the characters

>Also, I've stumbled upon loli-porn and while some of it is fucking gross 'dirty old man' shit, some of it is tame



I think there should be a line drawn when people draw naked little kids for sexual reasons.

then you aren't actually attracted to them if you wouldn't do it in real life, what are you some edge lord who faps to gore thinking they're some edgy dark mysterious person when in reality you're only doing it for other than sexual reasons

it is if you're getting off on your partner acting like a child

>Pedos literally are attracted to children's bodies,


so… lolicons, keep in mind ddlg and lolicons are heavily intertwined, in fact a lot of ddlgers/ageplayers will post loli on their blogs, ageplay literally means acting like a child in a sexual situation (unless it's for age regression therapy) and lolis, well they're actual children being drawn naked, so of course they're heavily intertwined, they're both communities of pedophiles who are slowly trying to normalize pedophilia

yes, those are pretentious edgelords, if you do not want to do it in real life, then you aren't actually up for it, I use to be one myself, even came to the idea of some fucked up things, and yet here I am, since I actually know the difference between sexual attraction vs just getting off on the idea of being an edgelord and then assume anyone who thinks if you aren't gonna do it in real life then you don't actually want it, is a troll

I'm chronically suicidal with ptsd and nothing helps. my brain is useless its almost impossible for me to envision a task and then do it. i organize my day around showering. i don't do anything else. I'm freelance and have been living at home bc i genuinely want to die. i did ketamine therapy and now i think I'm trying tms but i just want to hold my head underwater. the illness takes its toll on me, used to manifest as agoraphobia now its extreme body dysmorphia. don't recognize my own face.

unless i take adderal i don't do anything, they i take fistfulls of atavan cause i wanna be out of control and i just don't care. my whole life was diligently maintenencing my illness and i just don't car, i have no family or friends minus one best friend across the country.

I'm trying to move back there from my childhood home but my dad is gas lighting me and telling me in not "well enough" and i "came here for treatment" when he completely failed to help me get any. i know thats blaming him, but up until recently i would literally stare at a wall.

i self harm now too when is completely beyond humiliating. i do it bc i like bleeding onto the floor and pretending my breath is going to go out.

a man took advantage of me when i was drunk ended up on the phone with me trying to confront him over half a year ago and it ended up in me attempting suicide, not blaming him, but it spiraled into some nonsense i don't deserve. having ptsd and then having people liberally throw salt in your wounds for making th mistake of trusting someone is so fucked up from that alone really i just want to die the first time i tried to i was 11 and honestly it has all just been a giant mistake people are so fucking heartless

nothing is worth it. he just keep trying to get more and more public """""revenge""""" on me which i don't understand because i didn't do anything. i pretend it doesn't hurts because i know how he's just a small abused little bitch boy but his behavior right now is torture psychologically. he knows i have ptsd from rape. he himself is about 40 now.

i probably wrote too much but legit I'm so over this and i really need help i never said anything i just take pills and self harm and trash my life no matter how much talent i have bc i don't want to give it to anyone i can't stand another second alive

I don't understand your thinking process. What exactly do you think art is? drawings are symbols. Collections of lines that our brains can interpret as depictions of things that exist in reality, or combinations of those things that look like they could exist in reality. the style doesn't matter - as long as you're not drawing abstract lines, you're drawing symbols that stand for something. Art is meant to evoke emotions, the emotions that you feel about the things the symbols you drew stand for. If someone is sexually attracted and derives sexual pleasure from your art that's depicting symbols the viewer interprets in their brain as naked little girls in sexual situations, it is because they are attracted to little girls in a sexual way, and that makes them pedophiles. refusing to acknowledge that is burying your head in the sand.

No I'm not saying all fetishes need to be acted out, in fact I prefer lolicon to actually not be acted out, but I consider it dangerous because, as I said, while people confuse aesthetic attraction for sexual attraction a lot, some people are even willing to do things for aesthetic reasons or because they believe they're sexually attracted to it when they're not, and thats the problem, no I'm not saying all lolicons are going to molest every child they see, but they sure are at risk for it and imo should not be around children

god, you are so pretentious and think you are confusing people with your ~vast knowledge~ when you are clearly just trying to defend your point from all sides, even though you end up making contradictory statements that end up invalidating it. you're pathetic.

we get that you hate pedos, that's great, everyone should. we get that you wantairing on the side of caution with lolicons, that's great, no one wants children to get hurt.
your poor attempts to explain your stance on this with psychology are the problem. you don't sound smart or anything, you just sound pathetic. say your opinion and leave.

what contradictory statement did I make exactly? I clearly said even though lolicons may mistake aesthetic attraction for sexual attraction to, i didnt say it applied everywhere except for loli, but my point still stands because while people can mistake aesthetic attraction for sexual, the ones with just aesthetic attraction may still act on it, idc if you think its dumb, pathetic or pretentious, or whatever, calm down

I think all pedos should either be killed or in a facility far far away from anyone or anything, no matter how much they can pretend how they will never hurt kids, a lot of the time they will snap, and you never know when that is, the best thing to do is drown them all or keep them in their own little prison island far away from everyone, i dont care if the stigma hurts their feelings, if anything it just makes them more likely to play victim when they do molest kids

I ride my bike to work.
Today on my way there, I got hit by a car.
I kind of panicked, as you do when you get hit by car, so the first thing I did was call my boyfriend.
He didn't pick up, and hasn't said a word to me since Sunday.
Somehow that makes me feel worse than eating shit on the asphalt.
Also the guy who hit me didn't stop, and I couldn't get his license plate because my face was in the street, all I could tell the police was it was a silver suv, which is basically the most common vehicle in the midwest.
And my bike is ruined.
And I broke three ribs, my left humerus, one of my front teeth, and my face, arm, and leg on my left side are bruised and scratched up to all hell.
And for some stupid fucking retarded reason, I'm mostly upset that my boyfriend literally does not give a shit that I got hit by a car.
He ignored me like this when my face got burned at work and when my dad had a stroke too.
I am hurt but not shocked.

We've been off and on for over eight years.
I don't know, I'm stupid for staying, but I'm ugly and unlikable as a person, and I don't have any other friends, and where I work, everyone is 20 years older than me, and I just don't ever meet anyone new.

After a sleepless night I finally passed out for 3 hours from exhaustion this afternoon. He continues to maniacally ramble which I can hear through the wall but can mentally block out for the most part as long as his voice is low enough that I cannot make out what he is saying.

The police either do nothing or do not catch him in the act of disturbing the peace when they respond which is often hours after they are called. The building management can do very little other than arrange a visit from a social worker. As long as he is not a danger to himself or others, he cannot be forcibly hospitalised or treated. But they don't take him in even when his rants include yelling at the voices in his head, "Maybe I should kill myself!"

Did I mention that he is a registered sex offender with multiple convictions for acts with minors under 14? He is in a housing retention program because of his sex offender status and mental illness. He has lived here, and his behavior has been tolerated, for well over ten years.

The management's policy in regards to illicit drug use is harm reduction. Drug use and sales are rampant despite what is stipulated in the lease.

I was far more empathetic towards his plight before I confirmed first hand that these episodes are fueled by meth.

The situation is making me more and more mental. Some months he will rant, yell, scream, growl, laugh, sob, and pound on the walls and floor for days on end after getting high. During one bender I was unable to sleep 5 nights out of 6 and had my own mental breakdown.

I am unable to move. The only way out is if he dies or I die.

So, my boyfriend told me that his group of friends would like us to come to a New Years Eve thing… thing is, I get really anxious being around his friends, I'm feeling anxious just thinking about it… they're not bad people by any means, and they seem really quite nice, it's just that I feel like we have nothing in common… basically I feel ugly & poor next to them, they are all sort of upper-class good-looking types of people.

Any advice to sort of stop the anxiety? I don't want to let my bf down…

Also, I'm a bit jealous of him, I wish I had friends that would invite me to a NYE thing, but all my friends are scattered across the coast and I don't currently have the money/time to visit them. The holidays make me extremely melancholy, too. Last year it was particularly bad because I was approaching NEET status, but now I have an OK job & am saving for a car. So maybe that stress will fall away.

My bestfriend and I have always had a "too close" type relationship where we blur the line between friends and girlfriends often. It used to only be an issue when she would get jealous of other friends or boyfriends whatever. But last year we tried actually dating exclusively, and she broke up with me after a month saying she was in love with this guy she knew for about a year. When we had first gotten together she kept telling me "it's not gonna work" "I'm so scared it's gonna blow up in our faces" and I told her if we both put in effort we'd be good. It really fucked me up that when she broke up with me that she kinda threw all that "I told you we wouldn't work" in my face. I never would've gotten with her if she had told me how "in love" with this tweaker she was. And she's started sleeping with this guy (who's a meth head) and trying to get pregnant by him (refuses to use a condom, she likes how it feels when he busts inside her she says), but she acts like our break up never happened and continues to try to push what we used to have. To be honest, I want nothing to do with her romantically or sexually. The thought of having sex with her knowing she's let this tweaker bust in her grosses me out. But she still pushes it! We went to a party for a friend awhile back and her friend pulled me aside and told me "she wants to fuck you tonight" and I spent the whole damn night coming up with excuses for why I didn't want to fuck her. She keeps pushing it and hinting to me what she wants but I just can't do that anymore. She always says we need to just suck it up and get married and that we're soul mates we just don't realize it yet but I just can't get back into that mindset. She's going through a hoe phase right now I guess, was sleeping around with tweaker dude, gave her co worker she's known for 4mo a blowjob in the back of his car in the parking lot of her work (she works at a daycare center!!), and got with this guy she hardly knew, dated for a month, caught "serious feelings", then found out this kid is 17 & still in high school! I just don't really know who the hell she is anymore, and it seems like anytime we talk its either about her & relationships, her & sex, or her trying to get me to fall back into bed with her. Idk what's y'alls take, am I just being a prude or something?

That’s really shitty, I understand some men don’t know what it’s like to have body issues - but this is something you really need to discuss between you two and depending how serious you are with him - seek counseling maybe. You need to tell him the ways he’s made your body image worse, how these sex toys are making you feel etc and find out what he’s thinking and feeling and see how it can be worked out between you guys. That’s not something I’d just shrug off. It’ll only get worse if you don’t deal with it now and talk about it now.

Honestly this never works 90% of the time when it's about porn and sex-things. It's nice if he's accommodating but most guys view things like porn really differently than women. He'll understand it bothers you but he won't really get why, since from his perspective it's not something that should be a big deal and he can't put himself in the shoes of the female perspective any more than you can get why he'd want to do weird anime VR shit while being happy with his gf.

I want to move badly. In fact, I NEED to move badly. My older sister is getting on my nerves, she gets mad whenever I go in the bathroom before her and she yells at me for chewing my food because OF COURSE(/s) me eating in the car is the worst thing EVER(/s). It's just annoying honestly. Also she got mad at me once for asking for something when she borrowed money from me and never gave it back. And she accuses me of eating her food when she does a great job on eating it herself.

Yesterday was the last straw for me. I went in her room to get my financial aid information thinking that it was still in there. I didn't know that my grandmother had moved it. She started yelling at me. My grandmother ran in there trying to calm "us" (I wasn't yelling) down, but I got sick of it and told her to fuck off. My grandmother pushed me into my room and my older sister follows me, yelling at me for cussing her out. She throws a can of roach spray at me and tries to throw one of my laptops at me. My little sister tries to shut me up, but I explained to her that I didn't do anything wrong (except throw the can back at my older sister). After that everyone just leaves and my older sister is laughing at a fucking YouTube video like nothing happened.

AND YET SHE HAS THE NERVE TO CALL MY TEARS FAKE.

She tried to fucking kill me over a curse word. And she acts like she doesn't cuss at all. Which is a fucking lie.

I am fucking sick of her. She acts like a spoiled brat who cries when she doesn't get her way. We can't live together. Either she leaves or I leave. And I can't leave because I no money. So I'm fucked. I hate my dysfunctional family.

I think my own mom is envious of me. When I start something, she does the same and tries to 1up me every single fucking time, acts like she’s a know it all (even when she didn’t know shit about it before) and tries to correct me. It’d be kind of cool if it made her improve or something, but she’s always half assing whatever she’s into. If the task requires certain level of effort, she backs off and when that happens she gets frustrated and vents it against me. In the past it used to be in a violent way, but lately she became super passive aggressive. Yesterday she turned the radio on (she never listens to the fucking radio) and put the volume to the highest. Fam, the volume was set so high, the fucking house was trembling, and our house cats got really nervous. One of my cats went missing because of that and now my mom is guilt fucking tripping me. She’s always like this. Blaming me for her wrong doings, giving my shit away to people (because that’s charitable and she’s “a good Christian”) or throwing, breaking or finding ways to ruin it and then gas lighting me. And when I fell in depression, she’ll then call me lazy shit and compare myself with my brothers, whom she adores and pampers all the time. All of this makes my blood boil but even when my homelife is shit, I still love my mom and make a try to understand her. I’m fortunate my dad and younger brother understands, but when it comes to my younger brother, he can get really protective towards her. This happens a lot, specially when my dad gets tired of my mom’s shit and calls her out.

I really want to get the fuck out from here, but I don’t make enough money and am too socially awkward to make actual connections with people. No bf either lol. Last time I had a bf, my mom treated him as he was hers and bf freaked out. Anyway, I just wanted to vent it here. Thanks for reading my shit fam.

i graduate on monday but the only person going with me is my stepdad and we don't get along so well
i started up a job at a little shop about a month ago just as a retail assistant but they told me they're letting me go after the festive season despite the management all saying i was the fastest learner they'd had and constantly saying i do a great job. i've taken it to heart pretty bad cos i didn't expect it
i don't know what to do, it seems like i've got no attachments anymore and i feel pretty depressed so i feel like i need to just do something crazy like go and teach abroad while i'm youngish and unattached and leave everything behind but i'm also anxious and generally incompetent so i don't know if i'm tough enough

I begun buying trading cards and I can see why people call them cardboard crack or resort to stealing them now. I end up skipping meals to save the money just to get a fix on them. I would never go as far as stealing but I can see why people do it now, it's like a form of gambling in a way because the thrill when I open it up and get a card worth a lot of money is insane.
I think this beginning to take a real toll on my life and giving me an unhealthy lifestyle. It comes to mind on every single purchase I make and I will skip out on food or buy the dirt cheap option just to buy more, I feel like an addict. I don't know if I should seek help incase this gets worse.

I realized that I can probably never be in an actual, healthy relationship. I'm nearing my 30's and all of the relationships I've went through have been miserable because I seem to attract the same kind of people all over again. I'm not really sad over it because I love my 2D anime husbandos and they make me happy, but I'm afraid of being left alone when all my friends start entering more serious relationships in the future and starting families etc. I don't want to be "that single friend" who you only talk to when you're mad at your significant other and you need to rant about it.

Sometimes I feel societally inadequate for not wanting a committed relationship, but I simply don't see the benefits of one. Anyone else here experiencing the same issue?

I just got out of a year long committed relationship that I partially got into because I also felt socially inadequate. It blew up because I was not being true to myself and my own goals, and had a lot of resentment.

My two cents: I think what's important is to know what you want out of life. I have a lot of big plans for my future, so I don't have to lean on friends to fill my spare time if they are busy with /their own plans/ (aka. husband, family).

Not the anon you're replying to, but this might work for some people, but not me. I'll probably get a lot of flack for this but my #1 goal in life is to be a wife and a mother. Before people accuse me of being a tradcon or something, it's not like I want to be a stay at home mom. It's just that no career will be as important to me as being a mom. Even if I become the top researcher in my field or a public intellectual, I don't think it'd be that satisfying. I'm just not that career driven.

But the fact is, I don't meet tons of guys, and I have really high standards.

This might be me overreacting but I feel like I was just harassed by my neighbor.

I was throwing out some boxes and the recycling was overflowing, so I just put them on top because it is coming tomorrow anyway.

While walking away, this guy yelled at me "Did you break those down?" I didn't realize he was talking to me, so as I continued to walk closer he came up to me and said it again. I just stood there, dumbstruck. Then I said no, and he proceeded to lecture me that I should because xyz.

He didn't introduce who he was or ask me nicely. I don't know if he is some new manager or fugging the manager or just some busy betty. But I feel really shaken for some reason. While he was talking to me, some kids walked by with a huuuuge box that they wound up just throwing in the recycling. Didn't say shit to them.

I just said ok and walked away and broke them down. I still really shaken and harassed, even though… I don't think I should be? I usually do break them down too, I was just really tired today because I am sick and wanted to get them out of my doorway.

What's even shittier is my neighbors have been waking me up numerous times in the middle of the night lately and when I made a complaint to my manager about it, he never called me back even though I've called a few times. So regardless of who this guys was, I feel unprotected as a tenant as is anyway.

I literally moved here and am spending 50% of my paycheck to live here because I thought it was a "nice" "safe" building. But fuck. Now I just feel shaken and really upset.

He was just some uppity neighbor up in your business, anon. If he had been a manager he would have identified himself as one.
Next time someone approaches you like that ask if they're a manager, and if they say no or say something that doesn't answer the question, walk away because you don't owe any resident an explanation for just throwing out recyclables.

I empathize because I'm blowing a lot of cash to live in my complex as well, and while it's safe, the neighbors are entitled shits. Like I got yelled at by my downstairs male neighbor once because I swept potting dirt off my balcony (not breaking a rule) and it landed on his wife's laundry that she had hanging on her patio (hanging wash outside is breaking a rule).
Meanwhile I've got an upstairs neighbor who doesn't work with a rugrat who seems to like doing running jumps all day, and I'm supposed to accept that because "I should know how kids are" even though she's in violation of her lease for making noise all the damn time.

My schizophrenic neighbor's behavior reached critical the day after Christmas. The onsite case managers heard firsthand him expressing the desire to die, banging his head, screaming at his hallucinations, etc and called Crisis Management and the police. He was gone for over a week on an involuntary psychiatric hold.

Upon returning he got his SSI money, bought a bunch of meth, and has been on a tear since Saturday afternoon. I called the police non-emergency Saturday night to report him for noise disturbance. I was still woken up again at 2am. I will call them again tonight and every night from now on.

This afternoon he was screaming, "I use shards, I use meth, it's the only medicine that works!"

I understand that he is severely mentally ill, but I have lost all patience with him since he is knowingly inducing his psychosis with meth use and the fact that he is aware enough to usually wait until after hours and the weekends to let loose.

The management's policy regarding drug use is one of harm reduction of which I am generally in favor. But where do they draw the line? Why should his choice to use meth be allowed to infringe on the rights of the other tenants? He signed to same lease as the rest of us.

I suspect he gets leniency in terms of housing retention since he is a registered sex offender.

And the courts deemed him competent to stand trial. So why shouldn't he be held responsible for his behavior now?

I have enough going on in my mind with my own mental health already without his insanity invading my headspace.

Welcome to San Francisco! Open-air illicit drug use is a huge problem here. In many areas of the city you cannot walk more than a block without encountering used needles on the sidewalk or people shooting up or smoking crack.

I'm not a minor under the age of fourteen, so I think I am safe. Statistically, people with mental illness are much more likely to be victims of violent crime than perpetrators.

I have had several friendly interactions with him wherein he calmly talked utter nonsense (see, schizophrenia). But once in his room he lets loose as if no one can hear him.

According to the other longtime residents (I have been here a year), this cycle of crazy followed by involuntary psych hospitalization followed by more crazy is par for the course. He calms down enough after a week on antipsychotics to be released. No one in a position of authority can force him to continue taking his meds once he is released nor force him to stop using meth.

He seems to enjoy getting high for the purpose of arguing and fighting with the voice in his head, but more often than not the comedown leaves him self-harming and sobbing for hours.

tl;dr The mental healthcare system in the US is broken, and everyone suffers.

Sounds like your "friends" should spend some time with my neighbor.

Just as I was finishing my post >>221411 he began yelling and growling and throwing his body against the walls. I called his case manager and she called the police after hearing him firsthand. They arrived quickly but could not take him to hospital because he did not demonstrate that he was a threat to himself or others (the requirement for an involuntary psychiatric hold) in their presence.

Are you in the UK? It seems the US and UK have similar standards for involuntary hospitalization (sectioning), but in the UK people are held longer. In the US, how long someone is held seems to depend on how limited the beds are and whether the person has health insurance that will pay for weeks of intensive psychiatric care versus medicaid (health coverage paid for by the government).

I am aware of the current NHS crisis and lengthy wait times for mental health services, too.

Venting because I'm still mad about some girl that owes me money. She came in and out of my life several times since being a teen and I should have distanced myself, which I did try to do, but I'm lonely and also she was super manipulative and I believed her lies a lot. Anyway after borrowing like half a grand from me she claimed on her insta that she was leaving the country and I was angry but got over it. I blocked her on every single account she has (she's like Raven, a bpd mess that has dozens of accounts to stalk exes and girls she fights with) and tried to move on with my life to accept that it's my fault, it's the last straw and just close that chapter in my life.

Anyway, I made double sure the other day when I joined a different social media to check if she had any accounts and suprise suprise, she did. I peeked at her new tumblr profile and got super mad. She has a new boyfriend (this happens all the time) and she was posting crap about cutting toxic people out of her life and not having time for people that 'use' her.

I have accepted I'm not getting the money back but I was mad at the absolute gall! She used me everytime she had a disaster relationship or a fight with friends (usually because she lied and stole) and always came crawling back to me. And here she is talking about how people prey on her vunerability?
